Hi, I would just add something that someone said the other day and that is that we listen carefully to what is being said by voice over. Whatever is the last thing you hear, that's cursor will be.
I also agree about firm touches when you really intend something to work. Yes, if you miss the delete key, keep sliding your finger! I found this firm touch does help when it comes to selecting text. I've had to modify the way that I select text and, although it is not quite so efficient and certainly slower, it does work. Thank you for the encouragement you have given, David, to keep trying. It has worked for me, more or less, but I still think I would very much welcome something to be done to make the sensitivity less of a problem Carol.

When you lightly touch the screen or almost touch the screen, it repeats the last flick gesture. The only sort of work around that I have found is to touch the screen very deliberately. In other words, don't touch it lightly and don't slowly bring your finger to the screen, trying to find the delete key. Touch it quickly and sort of hard. If you land on the wrong key, just move to the delete key before lifting your finger. I find this bug to be very frustrating. The strange thing is that not everyone experiences it.

Hi All: I posted yesterday about what I thought was a text messaging bug where my voiceover kept jumping when I would try to edit a text message I ddictated. After doing a little more investigating/playing around, I have determined that the problem is not the messages app but I believe I am experiencing the screen sensitivity bug. Here is what is happening. I dictate a message. I swipe to the word I want to correct. That goes fine and the voiceover is on the word. Well, when I lift my finger and then go to put it on the delete spot my finger is about to touch the spot and all of a sudden voiceover jumps to another word. This is very frustrating because this is happening all the time when I try to edit a text message. I believe it is the screen sensitivity bug. What is the work around for this bug? Also, I ordered a 5S last week and am now waiting for it to come in. Does this bug occur on the 5S as well? Right now I am using a 4S. I hope there is a work around for this bug as it is really really frustrating! Thanks, Kerri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
