iOS: it is impossible to delete text on iPad (sometimes)

[Wiktor Walc]

Ticket REF : 1581-PSHC-0079

We are currently testing CKEDITOR 3.6.2 on the iPad and have ran in to an issue. We executed a simple test where we typed some text, selected it, and applied bold. Then, we touched to the right of the text, got a blinking cursor, but were unable to modify the text in the document.

Steps to reproduce (on iPad 2, iOS 5):

1. Type a line of text, 'Hello world'
2. Select the text using a long press on the word 'world', then drag the selection around 'Hello', or press 'Select All'
3. Press the 'bold' button
4. Touch after the word 'world'
5. Press the delete key

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to occur every time, so it makes me believe mobile safari isn't placing the cursor in an editable position.
