not just the keyboard either, but the text editor box (or address bar /search) in general. i cant count the number of times i try and put the cursor before a word, i see it is before the word, i let go, and the cursor moves to the end of the word. if i wanted it at the end of the word i would have put it there before letting go.

also, the damn period next to n in the address bar. no i didnt mean to type every word in a sentence with a period delimiting between words.

If you long press on the space bar and drag left and right, it moves the cursor around. Obscure UX but useful.

		It has the exact same bug as mentioned above. I solely use the spacebar for cursor movement, and the cursor returns to the end of the line/word at random times. I couldn’t find a pattern when it happens. It’s especially annoying when it happens with something long like a long path in a URL bar.

Having never implemented something like this, I wonder if the algorithm could take into account how long the cursor lingered on each position before being let go. If it spent significantly longer in a position before the word, and your finger happens to move a little bit when you let go, that slight movement shouldn't affect the cursor position.

Apple is usually pretty good about this stuff but they've really been slipping on the keyboard.

		I dont think it is a last second twitch. It's some kind of autocorrection that has decided I meant to do something differently than I meant to.
