bzimport set Reference to bz54283.

I've set my Language settings on https://en.wikipedia.org to using native keyboard for Hindi input.

Where exactly? In the "alternative caption" field of the "Insert Image" dialog? Some other field? The text of the page you edit?
At least for लिप्यंतरण and इनस्क्रिप्ट I cannot reproduce any jumping back of the cursor in the "alternative caption" field.

The steps to reproduce this problem are a bit unclear (but probably only because the user interface has changed since this problem was reported).

Clarification highly welcome.

As of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/264577/ in UniversalLanguageSelector this should now be resolved and working for all users, and will be part of the wmf.12 release starting tomorrow.
