This usually means you didn’t set the paragraph direction and just aligned
the
paragraph to the right while leaving its direction LTR. No jumping would
happen if
the paragraph has RTL direction.

It looks to me most of the directionality issues in this thread is coming
from this
confusion, but again paragraph direction and alignment are two different
things.
