Type: right-to-left lines with tabs are measured as they are drawn - #7278
A right-to-left line draws the text before a tab after it, but the line's width was measured in the order of its text. Right-aligned area type אב גד<tab>הו זח at 20 pt, with a left stop at 150 pt in a 300 pt frame, ended 5.59 pt past the frame's right edge. Right, center and decimal stops aligned the text that follows the tab in the text, which a right-to-left line draws in front of the tab, instead of the text drawn after it.
The Tabs help page says a center tab centers its text on the tab's position. It gives no rule for right-to-left lines. VectorCraft keeps measuring stops from the left edge and now measures the line in the order it is drawn. Both rules, and which text follows a tab in a right-to-left line, are VectorCraft's own.
drawn_width (crates/text/src/layout/breaking.rs) replaces set_width: it measures a line's glyphs in drawing order, each tab up to its stop from where the glyphs drawn before it end. prepare_line_geometry (flow.rs) measures with it, so Right, Auto and centered lines are aligned by the width they are drawn at. Left-to-right and vertical lines are measured as before.
tab_advance takes the glyphs drawn after the tab. Right, center and decimal stops align that text, in tab_glyph and in the natural width of justified lines (tabbed_natural_width).
break_line takes a fits check, which place_flow_line passes for horizontal paragraphs with right-to-left text. Once a line holds a tab, it reads on while the least it can be drawn at fits the frame: its glyphs other than the tabs and, while no glyph has a negative advance, the stop its tabs reach. It then ends at the latest legal break where it fits as drawn. Up to 256 breaks are measured from the latest back, and earlier breaks without a hyphen are bisected; hyphenation points are measured the same way. Only the lines of horizontal paragraphs with right-to-left text keep a list of their breaks, whether or not they hold a tab. Area type wraps a line that fits only in the order of its text, and keeps whole a line that fits only as drawn.
A tab that ends a wrapped right-to-left line is drawn first, before the line's content. It now keeps its own advance instead of a tab advance, which pushed the whole line right and out of the frame.
docs/target-app-parity.md has one line for it.
This changes existing behavior: right-to-left lines with tabs are aligned, wrapped and tab-aligned by their drawn extent. Left-to-right lines are unchanged.
How it was tested
New tests in crates/text/src/tests/justify.rs. Each fails when the part of the change it covers is removed:
a_right_to_left_line_with_a_tab_is_aligned_as_it_is_drawn: the example above with Right, Auto and Center. Right and Auto end on the frame's right edge (300 pt; 305.59 pt without the change), Center leaves the same room at each side, and the line's record ends where its glyphs end.
right_aligned_right_to_left_point_type_with_a_tab_ends_at_its_origin: the same line as point type ends at its origin (5.59 pt past it without the change).
a_right_to_left_line_with_a_tab_wraps_when_it_does_not_fit_as_drawn: in a frame the line fits only in the order of its text, it wraps, and every line stays inside the frame.
a_right_to_left_line_with_a_tab_and_many_breaks_wraps_when_it_does_not_fit_as_drawn: the same with 400 soft hyphens after the tab.
a_long_right_to_left_line_with_a_tab_that_fits_stays_one_line: a tab and 400 words in a wide frame stay one line.
right_to_left_tab_stops_align_the_text_drawn_after_them: right, center and decimal stops align the text drawn after the tab on the stop.
a_right_to_left_line_with_two_tabs_and_a_latin_run_ends_on_the_right_edge: two tabs around a left-to-right run; the line ends on the right edge (316.27 pt without the change) and the Latin run keeps its order.
New tests of break_line in crates/text/src/layout/wrapping_tests.rs, with a given fits check:
a_tabbed_line_ends_at_the_latest_break_that_fits_as_drawn: an earlier break that does not fit does not hide a later one that does.
a_long_tabbed_line_ends_at_the_latest_plain_break_that_fits_as_drawn: past 256 breaks, the bisection skips breaks with a hyphen.
a_tabbed_line_that_fits_as_drawn_stays_whole_past_many_clusters: a tab to a 500 pt stop and 600 words, 620 pt in the order of the text, stay one line in a 600 pt frame.
a_tabbed_line_stops_reading_where_its_tabs_reach_past_the_frame and a_tab_to_a_stop_past_the_frame_stops_the_line_reading: tabs to default or explicit stops past the frame stop the reading; the rest of a 2,000-word paragraph is not measured.
a_tabbed_line_ends_at_the_latest_hyphenation_point_that_fits_as_drawn: a word of 400 syllables (399 hyphenation points) ends the line at the latest point that fits, past the 256 measured one by one.
a_negative_advance_after_a_tab_keeps_a_fitting_line_whole: a glyph with a negative advance after a tab, and two right tabs on one stop, keep a fitting line whole.
The other calls of break_line in wrapping_tests.rs pass no fits check.

Bug Fixes
Improved alignment and wrapping for right-to-left text containing tabs. Tab stops, spacing, and line breaks now better reflect the order in which text is drawn.
A right-to-left line draws the text before a tab after it, but its width
was measured in the order of its text. A right-aligned line such as
"אב גד<tab>הו זח" with a stop at 150 pt in a 300 pt frame ended 5.59 pt
past the frame's right edge, and right, center and decimal stops aligned
the text before the tab instead of the text drawn after it.
- The line's width is measured in drawing order, each tab up to its stop
from where the glyphs drawn before it end. Right, Auto and centered
lines are aligned by that width. Stops are still measured from the
left edge.
- Right, center and decimal stops align the text drawn after the tab.
- Area type breaks a line with a tab where it fits as drawn, and wraps a
line that fits only in the order of its text. Once the line holds a
tab, it reads on while the least it can be drawn at fits, then ends at
the latest break that fits as drawn: up to 256 breaks are measured
from the latest back, and earlier breaks without a hyphen are
bisected. Hyphenation points are measured as drawn the same way, so
the line hyphenates at a point that fits.
- Only lines of horizontal paragraphs with right-to-left text keep a
list of their break candidates.
- A tab that ends a wrapped right-to-left line is drawn before the line
at its own width instead of pushing the line to the right.

RTL tabbed text now uses visual drawing order to measure tab stops, line widths, and wrapping in horizontal paragraphs. The change adds drawn-width break settlement and regression tests for RTL tab alignment and wrapping.

Summary
Draw-order tab measurement and break settlement crates/text/src/layout/breaking.rs, crates/text/src/layout.rs
Tab measurement uses the glyphs following a tab in drawing order. break_line can settle tabbed lines against a drawn-fit predicate, including legal and hyphenation breaks.
RTL flow measurement and tab placement crates/text/src/layout/flow.rs
Horizontal RTL line breaking and width measurement use visual drawing order. Tab-stop measurement and emission also use the glyph order in which text is drawn.
Wrapping and alignment regression coverage crates/text/src/layout/wrapping_tests.rs, crates/text/src/tests/justify.rs, docs/target-app-parity.md
Tests cover drawn-fit break selection, RTL tab alignment and wrapping, and related edge cases. The parity history records the RTL tab behavior. Existing wrapping tests use the updated break_line call shape.

Right-to-left tabbed lines are now measured in drawing order, which fixes alignment and wrapping. Remaining issues are edge cases: lines with negative glyph advances can wrap earlier than necessary, and trimmed Japanese–Latin line ends can be mis-measured. The parity doc's status date and revision history also need updating. Mergeable after those small follow-ups.

- Line 394: Replace the `partition_point` selection for `plain` with a reverse
scan that chooses the latest candidate for which `fits` succeeds, without
assuming fitting widths are monotonic. Apply the same non-monotonic-safe
selection in the hyphenation path, preserving its candidate limits and fallback
behavior.
Review comments at @crates/text/src/layout/flow.rs:
- Line 652: Update the measurement paths around drawn_width, including the path
that subtracts end_trim, to apply the trim to the relevant glyph’s advance
before tab advances are calculated. Reuse the same adjusted advance in both
paths so measured widths match emitted widths for tabbed RTL lines.
Review comments at @docs/target-app-parity.md:
- Line 44: Add a 2026-11-13 entry to the Feature revisions table documenting the
right-to-left tab change, and update the Feature evidence last updated date to
2026-11-13. Leave scores and estimates unchanged.

What and why
A right-to-left line draws the text before a tab after it, but the line's width was measured in the order of its text. Right-aligned area type
אב גד<tab>הו זחat 20 pt, with a left stop at 150 pt in a 300 pt frame, ended 5.59 pt past the frame's right edge. Right, center and decimal stops aligned the text that follows the tab in the text, which a right-to-left line draws in front of the tab, instead of the text drawn after it.The Tabs help page says a center tab centers its text on the tab's position. It gives no rule for right-to-left lines. VectorCraft keeps measuring stops from the left edge and now measures the line in the order it is drawn. Both rules, and which text follows a tab in a right-to-left line, are VectorCraft's own.
