Same setup.

I see the same behavior, but only on the first line of a handler that 
uses "on <handler name>. IOW, if the first word of the handler is "on", 
I can't put the cursor after the "o". It jumps back to before the "o". 
It doesn't do this for any other line in the handler (not on the "end 
<handler name>" line, nor on the first line of a function handler.

BTW, this problem only occurs when colorization is on. Try turning off 
colorization, enter the script again, and see if it still happens.
