Have you accidentally highlighted and deleted a word when trying to place the cursor?

I disabled that feature, also an annoyance. I constantly activated that accidentally
A single word?
No, I usually delete a whole paragraph by accident.
Don't ask me how, but it happens about once a day. Not a huge deal to me, though. Shake-to-undo is my personal savior.

I don't understand this issue? Could you give an example?
I just hold my finger down which brings up the magnifying glass, move it into place and release. Never fails to work.

Same here... It has only started happening to me recently, and it's quite annoying. I don't recall it ever doing that before, and I certainly haven't changed my typing habits in the past year, so I'm thinking it's something new in iOS 5.
Since it seems to be completely random and I only do it on accident, I honestly have no idea what that "feature" is even supposed to be doing.
If I write a word that the iPhone isn't familiar with, it gets underlined with red. Bringing up the magnifying glass, moving it into place and releasing it can sometimes make the entire word selected, and pop up a suggestion about the "correct" form of the word.
Because of this, starting to type deletes the entire word since it became selected even though I dropped the cursor in the correct place.
Very annoying since the suggestions are usually worthless, the behavior inconsistent and the dictionary seriously flawed for my language.
i feel ya, i i wish they would add an undo key to the keyboard just like the ipad
its muchhh better.

As for this thread, yes, almost every time I try posting a tag on Twitter.
Do you have parkinsons? You REALLY gotta shake the phone for shake to undo to come up unless the phone is faulty...
Sorry, I didn't realize bumping was forbidden. Why is that? Kind of silly and unfair, what if you happened to post when the board traffic was very low and/or no one happened to see your post?
And to answer, no I don't have Parkinson's. It happened when making normal smooth arm/hand movement. I've read other people who have experienced this additionally

So you are moving your arms while you type?
I usually don't do jumping jacks and/or cartwheels while typing a message. To each his own I guess. /sarcasm

I have gotten violations for this. I agree, it is silly. Just disguise your bump with a sentence from now on. That's what I do. I mean... never do...
wOw. I've been using an iPhone since i3 and didn't even know this feature. Probably came with iOS 5 (?)
Will be very useful especially in Mail app. Thank you!!!
To help the user spell right, I suppose. I don't think the iOS developers intent was to piss me off...
