Magnification glass doesn't come up anymore when moving text cursor? When I type, say if I want to move the cursor to some position back to do the edit, I would hold the finger down and then it will display a magnification glass that was very handy to use to move the cursor into a new position.

But now for some reason that magnification glass doesn't come up. So to change something I have to literally erase the end of the sentence and type it again. Which is HELLUVA inconvenient!

What happened to that magnification glass? How do I get it back?
