    This is not exactly a bug but then again it is not exactly correct.

    When selecting or clicking on a character in the text input, if you click on a character over half way past the centre the cursor should go to the right of the character and less than half way the cursor should go to the left.

    Try it yourself by slowly highlighting these characters:

    W W W W W W W

    The way it's done now feels wrong and can result in less accurate selection.
