At the Type tool's caret, kerning goes on the character before the caret. At the start of the text there is none, so Alt+arrows, the Kerning field and Reset Tracking and Kerning did nothing; at a later paragraph's start the kerning landed on the invisible line break. CharStyle::kerning_before (kerningBefore) is the space before a character that starts a line by itself: the first character of the text, of a paragraph, or after a forced line break. Shaping gives its cluster the space and draws it that much later along the line (right to left the space is at its right; in vertical type it moves down the column). The caret at such a line's start sets it (edit::caret_kerning_target), in type.step, type.resetTracking and the Character panel; text.setRangeStyle takes it. SVG export starts the line where the character is drawn. The Eyedropper and character styles leave it alone.
