Yep, known issue on the Editing team & design's radar. Just not something we're 
tackling as part of the MVP for releasing VE to stable on tablets. 

I'm a little out of the loop since I was out for a few days, but I believe 
Trevor's forthcoming (or already arrived?) window rewrite may impact this area, 
so we need to first see how the new inspector/toolbar implementation looks & 
then go from there.
