Photon smart caret positioning bug [message #1792875]

Hello!
I have just downloaded latest photon JEE x64 windows release.
There is a critical bug that forces me to downgrade:
when you press home, caret positions at first symbol (space), not the first nonspace symbol.
I googled and found that there is an option "smart caret positioning" which should switch the behaviour (first character/first nonspace character), but I have them all checked in all places in preferences.
Why this bug is critical? because I have muscular memory on key combinations and cursor positions and new behaviour ruins my typing.
I don't care about new features you have in a new release if you break core functionality.
