Public bug reported:

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.
