Description

Description

Having
#show "TEST": text.with(hyphenate: false).
The jumping to the text does not jump to the right position. It appears as after TEST the position starts egain from the beginning of the line. What I mean by that is that when I click on 5 it works, but clicking one 7 jumps to 2.
1 2 3 4 5 TEST 6 7 8 9

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Chrome on macOS with the shown #show rule and the text sequence, then inspect how the generated PDF maps text positions around the show rule. Done means clicking each number jumps to its corresponding position rather than restarting the line after TEST.
