Description
**Describe the bug**
1. Take the following text:
```
My movie
CHARACTER
Hello!
```
2. Delete the first letter of `CHARACTER`. The line will be incorrectly indented as if it indicated a character (but it isn't, since it has a blank line after it).
3. Moving the text cursor on a different line removes the indentation of the `CHARACTER` again.
**Screenshots**
**macOS version**
macOS 15.3.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the macOS 15.3.1 case in the issue: delete the first letter of CHARACTER when it is followed by a blank line, then move the cursor elsewhere. Trace the screenwriting character-formatting entry point responsible for the indentation; done means the non-character line is not indented and remains unchanged after cursor movement.
