Bug Description

The blue convex pentagon used as a cursor to allow editing of text boxes is too small.

As a result of this, it is necessary (for me atleast) to cover the entire shape when moving the cursor meaning I cannot actually see where the cursor is being moved too (since the small shape and the crucial part of the text field are then covered by a finger).

Checking on krillin image #44, the handle is now even smaller than it used to be (!!)

Any chance we could get an iOS-like magnifier that appears on long-touch as this is currently mostly unusable without angling the device at an extreme angle in an attempt to see under your finger tip.

That blue cursor had been introduced due to the other blue "arrow" being clumsy. This part of the input interaction is still not baked, we nedd more input from UX. OTOH, magnification was dropped before, perhaps we go of it still.
