This is feedback more than a bug but not sure where else to put it.

While entering text on the remote, you have to use arrow keys to navigate around the virtual keyboard. However there is 'shortcut' feature is that if you hold either left or right, the carat is moved left or right. Nice idea, but in practice its very easy to accidentally hold an arrow key for too long, so instead of switching letters, you move the carat without noticing and then the next letter is entered in the wrong place. 

I think this feature should just be removed since it's impossible to use in any case as even when deliberately trying to move it, its too inaccurate - to move the carat an exact number of places is impossible since it moves very fast and the control is unresponsive.
