That does make sense.
So the returned x&y coords are for the IP (where to draw the cursor),
and the returned Run is used for what?

Possible. But there's also the implied assumption about a
JUSTAFTER-Run is always followed by a INSIDE-Run - but that could just
be a bug, of course.

If you try to try type '1234' + 2xleft + control-return + left you'll
see the assertion trigger since the second loop is still broken in
your version.
