Summary:
When using a UITextField that is right aligned, the cursor can sometimes jump to the left of the field unexpectedly.

I have attached a sample project that you can run to reproduce the problem easily.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a UITextField with fixed width and that is right aligned
2. Tap into the text field
3. Type spaces without typing any other character

Expected Results:
The spaces push the cursor to left

Actual Results:
The cursor jumps to the left of the text field and no spaces are shown

Version:
Xcode 8.2.1 (8C1002)
Simulator iPhone 6s - iOS 10.2 (14C89)
Device iPhone SE 10.2.1 (14D27)

Notes:
I have attached a sample project which will let you examine how it was set up. Just open the project and run and you can instantly repo!

Thanks!

Configuration:
I have seen it in the simulator and on device.
