 Testing with an ipad air both with and without a bluetooth keyboard. This
 is somewhat intermittent, but if I test for long enough I can recreate
 this on all the up-to-date blogs I've tried (both .org and .com). The
 issue happens either when I try to tap on a particular spot in the post or
 when I long-tap and try to drag the carat to a particular spot in the
 post. I can sometimes position the cursor near the top of the post, but
 never within the last couple paragraphs in my post. So if I write a much
 longer post, I may be able to position the cursor within the first few
 paragraphs, but then beyond a certain point, the cursor cannot be placed
 past a certain line. If I try to position the cursor on a line below that,
 it will retain the horizontal position, but revert back up to that bottom
 limit line.

 I've also tried recreating this issue at fiddle.tinymce.com using version
 4.0.21 and I am *not* able to recreate the problem there. So it seems to
 have something to do with our implementation. I've tried removing our
 custom editor css to see if that solves the problem but it does not. So I
 would suspect it has to do with one of our plugins.
