NSLayoutManager boundingRect(forGlyphRange:in:) returns wrong value for RTL languages

Question

In my app, I draw custom background under lines of text in UITextView . To do so, I use boundingRect(forGlyphRange:in:) method of NSLayoutManager . It works well for LTR languages (Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese etc): But if I use it for RTL texts (Hebrew, Farsi etc), the method returns wrong bounding rect (see padding on the left edge):

These additional paddings seem to have some logic. The first character determines the size of the padding for a line:

What the reason for this extra padding and how to get the correct bounding rect?

Here is a demo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bpsr7bhhd7gqm2z/hebrew.zip?dl=0

UPD: seems this function gives a wrong result for all alphabets that use, I don't know how it's called, mutating characters. Devanagari for example:

Answer 1

Seems boundingRect(forGlyphRange:in:) counts exactly glyphs with their spaces for attaching neighboring characters but not the final composed piece of text which gives extra paddings.

I solved my issue but employing boundingRect function of NSString . Check the result: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qq5lmo8fsozjqml/hebrew%202.zip?dl=0
