Moving cursor left or right in tickbox items spanning +1 lines moves the cursor back to the 1st line

Hi,
This is possibly the most specific bug I've reported, but I'm hoping it's an easy fix, so even though it's minor, I thought it would be worth reporting.

My version of Android lets me enable left and right arrows to move the cursor around in text (without having to touch the text directly, providing better fine control).

I discovered that when editing a tickbox item in a task, if the item spans more than a line, then moving the cursor left or right moves the cursor one step left or right, but back to the first line.

That's it :)
Thanks!

I could reproduce this with my tablet where the keyboard has those left, right arrows,
but I don't know what causes this, how to fix or whether we can fix this at all. I couldn't find any reference to this problem on the net.

It's probably caused by how the check list widget handles focus changes.

I just debugged that and onFocusChange() in CheckListFieldView is not called when pressing those arrows and the cursor jumps to the first line within that text. Only when 'exiting' the text with the arrows on either end. Or when tapping into another item.
