I'm not sure this will help, but I found out the other day that Linux and the Apple products use a vertical cursor that appears between letters, while MS products use an underscore that appears under a letter. I realized this when I was looking through my ChromeVox options, and realized I could change the cursor from the Apple style to the Microsoft style. Once I changed it to the Microsoft style, editing in Chrome worked as I was used to in Windows. Prior to that, it was the same as what I experience on my iPhone. I'm not sure if there's a way to change this on the iPhone, but through trial and error, I discovered the same tips that have already been posted.
