WHY, when editing a document that has tabs, when I try to drag and move the cursor to a sentence I want to edit, does does it me to the beginning or the document!? I can no longer drag the cursor. Have to tap and HOPE it lands on the exact right place, which as we know, tapping on a doc is not always so precise on phones. Docs now unusable for me. Do you people test ANYTHING???

The app constantly stops allowing me to edit my own documents. I've done everything that Google recommends, and the only thing that works is to completely reinstall the app. I have to do this three or four times a day on occasion. It's awful. I'm going back to Dropbox. Dec 1, 2024: I came back to check, and it still hasn't been fixed. I would give another 1-star if I could.

After the most recent update (mid November 2024), the scroll bar on the mobile app does not appear until I go to edit the document. This makes trying to scroll to specific points in longer documents an annoyance as I either have to start typing to get access to the scroll bar, or scroll manually by swiping upwards repeatedly until I reach my destination. Please fix this asap, as it is ruining my user experience with your otherwise functional app.
