HOME & END keys do not behave as expected, Illustrator

Using Illustrator 27.5 on Windows 11 (same issue also applies to any previous version of Illustrator/Windows).

Whether using a text boxes or a point text object, I often double click (w/ black or white arrow) on a line of text to begin editing & then use the Home or End keys in an attempt to move the cursor to the home or end of the line the cursor rarely moves to the expected location.  I have to hit Home/end 2-3 times to get the actual desired effect of moving the cursor to the actual home or end of a line.

It's highly variable where the cursor will actually end up after only a single key-press.  Maybe at the end, or beginning, of the current word, maybe in the middle of another word on the same line.

Never, on a single key-press of Home or End, does the cursor actually move to the Home (beginning) or End of a given line of text.

This behavior is inconsistent, counterintuitive & contrary to EVERY other text editing software out there.

Is there a setting I can toggle?  Is there some logic to this non-standard behavior?  Do Adobe developers ever actually read these posts?

For clarity, I'm using a standard 104-key USB/PS/2 keyboard. Not on a laptop or mac and not doing anything unusual.
