Ubuntu Phone: Needs better redefine selecting text

[costales]

By example, enter in the browser and select the middle of an URL, expand the selection to the end of the URL, try to change it again from the end to the middle: It's complicate to redefine.

Thanks in advance!

I think this will be lot easier once the new cursor handler will be in use.

The video isn't very good unfortunately. We need screenshots and a more explicit description of the concerns. As text input is a fast moving component we need to be clear what state we're talking about. The handlers have been tweaked a few times in the past given UX feedback such as this one and ideally we can compare those iterations and see if they actualy improve or if they're not good enough yet.

Hi Christian! I haven't a video camera and my previous Galaxy ACE is doing
a bad videos :( I can't do more, sorry.

But I think the test is easy: Use Android, open a webbrowser and select
text in the address bar. Return to Ubuntu Phone and try it again. The
difference is better in Android (of course, in my opinion) :)

Best regards!
