This is not a keyboard bug: it applies even when you aren’t using the
keyboard, for example when selecting text for formatting, or (in future)
when doing voice dictation. It is a bug with toolkit text fields.

** Project changed: ubuntu-keyboard => ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu)

Title:
  A feature should be added for precise text cursor placement

Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It is very hard to place the text curspr at a precise place in Ubuntu
  Touch. Either arrow keys or a feature similar to Windpws Phone (where
  a long tap on the text lets the user drag the cursor around) should be
  implemented.
