Title:
  [sdk] Placing cursor in text editor proposal

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [words.png] While editing some text, if we want to correct character in some previous word - that's really annoying to place cursor exactly where we want to. It's bigger problem with smartphones and text editing.
  My proposal: Maybe below (or instead of it) that blue circle/rectangle with cursor (in words.png attachment), there should be magnifier button. And when we hit and hold it, it should work similar to that in TexStudio (please see attachments 'without zoom.png' and 'with zoom.png'). It should zoom some round area (and move zoomed area with cursor while finger move) - I think that should improve selecting exact character that we want to.
