Title:
  Difficult to edit long names

Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was trying to workaround bug #1122584 (receiving empty message from '129' when using tmobile) and so I created a new contact for the '129' number with a descriptive string rather than a name. I used:
  First name: TMobile
  Last name: Visual Voicemail (not implemented)

  Because of bug #1268965, the above 'name' is rather unsightly in the
  Call log of the dialer, so I wanted to edit it. I went into the
  Contacts app, selected the contact, pressed 'Edit' and then see what
  is in the attached screenshot. I can click in the Last name field, but
  I don't have a way to get to the beginning of the text field without
  deleting portions of the last name (ie, there are no directional keys
  on the keyboard, 'Home', 'End', etc and swiping doesn't work either).
  This is easily worked around by deleting text, but the user experience
  could be better.
