Select select all box

I have turned predictive text off (and autocorrect). However, if i have typed a long message or post if I have made an error when I put the cursor at the end if the word to alter instead of being able to delete it a box with “select select all ‘scan sign’” comes up. The only other option is “paste select select all”. It is driving me mad. Any ideas?

The simplest way to fix a misspelled word would be to place your finger on the enter text bar and slide it up and around to where you want to fix either the word or a letter in the word.


For example, here is a misspelled word: pyschiatrist. If I place my finger on the enter text bar and slide the cursor into the word, I can place the cursor after the p, then enter s, to fix the word I have misspelled.
