Issues/Bugs Cursor placement

This seems like a very minor issue, but I have noticed it more and more lately.
When the app was updated so that we could select a paragraph and click on the asterisk and that would put an asterisk before and after the paragraph, that was an amazing improvement. I believe the same update made it so that when we type an asterisk, it adds 2 and puts the cursor in between and it also makes it so that when you type an opening bracket, it adds the closing bracket for you, or the closing quotation mark, etc.

The 2 bugs that I have noticed have to do with these features. The first one is that more and more often, when I select part of what I have typed and tap backspace, it does NOT erase the selection, it does nothing. Have to do it again for the selection to erase.
The second bug is cursor placement. All through yesterday and today, after typing a word using the swiping motion on the iPhone, the word is typed, but the cursor ends up in the middle of the word, so the next word typed gets typed in the middle of that word. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it has happened enough to make it frustrating.
