Description

This is a regression relative to version 8.2

Repro steps:
1. Assuming you have "row.toString()" in a debugging session watch
2. Edit the watch
3. Position the caret so it visually looks like it is after the dot
4. Hit DEL keyboard button
5. Notice that "o" gets deleted instead of "t"
6. Similarly, any characters you type will get inserted in the wrong position (one index off)

It is difficult to know where the IDE will insert/delete characters because the caret isn't showing up in the right place.
