Cursor on editing not following

Maildroid 1.74
Motorola Defy, Android 2.1

Normally, when you want to edit some text in your mail message, you can swipe with the finger and the cursor should follow your finger. This is the behaviour when you edit a SMS message, add an calendar entry... With Maildroid, when you swipe with your finger, the "glass" window opens, you see the text in it but the cursor stays fixed and doesn't follow the finger swipe - it's hard to find the correct positon if you want correct a mispelled word...
Sure, you can select the whole word and delete it, but the positioning of the cursor works in other applications without problems...

Thanks.
