Hi!

I have this issue when using my Magic Keyboard with my iPad, that when I try to move my cursor to edit text in a textbox on some websites, the browser will scroll down. It does this both with right and left arrows, as well as up and down.

This makes it very difficult to edit text with an external keyboard attached. When using the on screen keyboard I always use the two finger trackpad trick to precisely position my cursor, but with the keyboard I can’t use that, and feel that it would be faster to just use the arrow keys together with suitable modifiers.

Does anyone else have this issue with iOS 11.3? It happens in a lot of comment fields, and it didn’t happen in this textbox I’m writing this in, until just now. It now jumps down one page per keypress until it reaches the bottom. A quick google search suggest that this is a know problem, but most posts are dated back to the days of iOS 10.
