Kerning Font Characters (Letters) Causes Cursor to Jump Around
While kerning letters in a statement, each time I press the up arrow to give more space or to press the down arrow to shrink space between letters, the cursor jumps to the second line in some random spot. I have to move the cursor back each time I press the up arrow and down arrow. This is definitely a bug.

Rick, I am confused.
To kern (that is to nudge adjacent characters horizontally) one use Opt/Alt + Arrows — but Left and Right, not Up and Down... Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + square brackets also work.
But Up and Down don’t kern, they change leading, and this (sadly) works only for a full ranged selection of at least one line — and in this case the cursor is hidden, the selection visible, and it does not go anywhere...So what do you mean exactly? Please elaborate. A short video or a GIF would help.
