 I've been ramping up iPad usage with WordPress both for mobility as well
 as testing.

 The more I use it, the more frustrated I become with the visual editor.
 Due to what appears to be multiple bugs with both iOS and WordPress, I am
 often unable to move the cursor and must switch to the Text tab to do my
 editing.

 When tapping into the Visual editor in a long post, the screen auto
 scrolls so that the cursor is sitting directly above the keyboard, and the
 admin bar moves to the middle of the page, covering most of the remaining
 editing area.  This blocks the view of any preceing or following text, and
 makes it very awkward to write sentences longer than the editor is wide.

 To move the cursor to a different part of the post, I have to un-focus the
 editor and the tap into the editor on a different line.  The only place I
 can reliably land the cursor is at the end of a line, so to change
 anything in the middle of a paragraph, I have to use the text editor.
