Positioning (edgy) cursor for editing text.

Correcting a typo by moving the cursor to the offending letter is sometime difficult as the cursor won't stay put even if I center it. It may jump up a line or left and right. Sometimes it's easier to select the whole word and retype it. Anyone else?

iPhone SE, iOS 14
