Bug Description

It is very hard to place the text curspr at a precise place in Ubuntu Touch. Either arrow keys or a feature similar to Windpws Phone (where a long tap on the text lets the user drag the cursor around) should be implemented.

Another OS is displaying a magnifying lens with a zoomed detail view where a precise placement can be done.

This is not a keyboard bug: it applies even when you aren’t using the keyboard, for example when selecting text for formatting, or (in future) when doing voice dictation. It is a bug with toolkit text fields.
