If you want to correct the command just use the keyboard of your cell phone and delete everything and then put the same command what you need. But I'd say it's not a bug.
You can actually use a feature of your keyboard to point/go to where you want to edit. The caret button (the one that looks like a capital "i" with arrows beside it [right above your 'w']) can be used to move your caret to specific parts of your text/command.
Mr.Pufferfish.. there is no bug here. I used to think there was, but the answer to what you need is on the screen in your first uploaded video. Tap on the button in my screenshot below from your video. This will open a menu that allows you to edit text. The second screenshot it what my personal Android phone looks like when I press that button.
I am agree with you
