Changed cursor control?

[Samm Neiland]

Just sorta realize something. Remember how since Windows Phone 7 you could do that thing where you held down on a block of text and you could then move the text cursor around?

You know, this thing.


Anyway, they replaced that with something else. Now when you press and hold, instead of dragging around the cursor like you did before, a solid line with a little bubble on the bottom will appear. You then lift your finger and hold the bubble, and drag it around the text.


Its not quite as flashy, but I suppose it is a bit more accurate now. Kinda a bummer though. I'm gonna miss that all powerful floating cursor...

yes , I will miss the old one :sad: but this is somewhat more fast and accurate :wink:

It took me a little while to figure this out... For the first couple days I thought they had removed the functionality. Instant pre-Nodo flashback. Bad Feng Shui...
