Pages App Not Selecting Correctly

Question

Hi all,
Using Pages on my iPad; since updating to iOS7 can no longer drag the selection to select more text; nor can I alter the size of objects like text boxes. Seems that iOS7 has broken dragging behaviour in Pages. Anyone having similar problems?

Hi, Sean -
Pages is unusable on my iPad Mini Retina.
For instance: I can double-tap select a word, and treble-tap a paragraph, then backspace to delete, but then mostly wait ten seconds before anything happens. I have timed it. For a simple selection, the contextual menu may not appear in that time, if at all. Forget dragging handles to select text - I will wait ten seconds after releasing it to find out where it went.
Occasionally the delay is 'only' three or four seconds, and once in a while even under one second. Response is never 'normal'.
This only affects Pages, and happens in even the smallest documents containing only a few hundred words of pasted plain text - no boxes or other elements - and which have been created on the iPad.
At a guess, Pages acts as if it is trying to backup 'undo' actions (or iterative versions of the document?) to the cloud, over my very slow (2G) connection. Someone in another thread suggests turning off wifi, so it could well be something like that. I have not tried that yet, as it rather defeats the purpose of using Pages at all.
I repeat - Pages is currently unusable on the iPad.
