Android app, can't go back and edit text you've already written while posting replies

As I write this as an OP, if I make a typo and want to go back I just tounch my finger on the word I want to change.

But if I try and do that while replying to an existing thread, nothing happens. I can't change the curser position. I know you very recently did an android app update, did it break something?

Hello @ThreshingCorn can we check if this is still happening? We released a fix for the app. Please check for updates in your app store.

But funnily enough if I go back and edit a post, it works correctly! It's just replying initially that is the problem. See image.

I am writing a reply now and want to go back and change the word "writing", but when I try and tap the second word in this sentence to move the curser nothing happens...
