Steps to reproduce:

Whenever I input a text into an input text field on any websites, I can't move the text cursor by tapping the position, or highlight/select a word by holding it, if the cursor is close to my hand. For example, if I typed "Hello world" and the cursor is between "e" and "l", I can't highlight/select the "Hello" by long-pressing the word. I have to move the cursor farther from the targeted word.

Actual results:

When I tap/hold a word/letter near the cursor (around 3-4 characters from the cursor), It assumes I want to tap/interact the cursor, which causes the Paste, Select All, etc options to show up.

Expected results:

It should be able to select the text (when holding the word near the cursor) or move the cursor (when tapping a position in the input field near the cursor), just like the native/built-in Android's text selection (Firefox uses different text selection) which pretty much other Android apps use.

DOM: Selection or APZ. Moving to component. (sorry for late).

Component: Browser Engine → DOM: Selection
