ws-butler mode does not work properly

(ws-butler-mode 1)

It seems that the ws-butler mode is no longer maintained and having a minor issue that its ws-butler-keep-whitespace-before-point does not work as expected. When editing a new line, after auto-saving, the cursor is moved to the front.

before auto-saving

after auto-saving with ws-butler mode enabled

Any suggestion on how to fix it or recommended replacement for this mode?
