"magnifying glass" incorrect vs actual cursor position - sometimes...

First post here as a new tablet owner... bear withme if I get the terminology wrong!

When I edit text in an email (gmail or other) or in any of the browsers, long holding a word moves the cursor as expected. But when dragging the texthandle, the pop-up magnifying glass often shows the cursor position incorrectly - typically too far to the right. Usually, but not always!

The same is the case for double clicking and dragging either of the handles. In fact, you don't have to move the handle. Just hold it down to see the wrong magnified position, which is not the same as the real cursor position

What gives? Is this a known bug or is there any setting I can apply to fix the problem?
