Text selection only works when positioned exactly at the beginning of the text

[GLEB-M]

Text selection works only with precise positioning to the beginning of the text. Even if there are paddings. This causes some inconvenience.

<SelectableTextBlock Text="Hello SelectableTextBlock" Margin="20" Padding="20 0 20 0" Background="Wheat" Width="250"/>
<AvaloniaEdit:TextEditor Text="Hello AvaloniaEdit" Margin="20" Padding="20 0 20 0" Background="Wheat" Width="250"/>

In SelectableTextBlock it works fine

Instead of changing the TextEditor.Padding, you can change the TextView.Margin. Example:

<Window xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
        ...
        xmlns:rendering="using:AvaloniaEdit.Rendering"
        ...>

        ...

        <AvalonEdit:TextEditor>
          <AvalonEdit:TextEditor.Styles>
            <Style Selector="rendering|TextView">
              <Setter Property="Margin" Value="20 0 20 0" />
            </Style>
          </AvalonEdit:TextEditor.Styles>
        </AvalonEdit:TextEditor>

        ...
</Window>

It works, thanks!
