iPad: Improve Edit Text Box behaviour: Cursor should appear where tapped to activate Edit

I’ve recorded a little screen video to explain it better. 

 

I’ve got a text box, with a lot of text. I tap once to mark the text box as “active”. I tap double, to where I want to edit text. The default behaviour is, that the cursor appears *always* at the end of the text. This is means that the board view is scrolling down the text box and I might loose the focus on where I wanted to edit. 

Is it possible to switch into edit mode and place the cursor where I tapped immediately?

Hi @JayB, 

The functionality you are looking for hasn't been implemented in our product yet. I'm afraid that's the expected behavior - the cursor indeed jumps to the end of the text as you described. The good news is that this is currently at our UX team backlog and, hopefully, will get a chance to add this improvement.
