Description
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
When moving the cursor in a prompt or on the other part of a multiple choice, the cursor doesn't stop when the finger is raised from the left/right key but the keeps going until the keyboard buffer is completely flushed.
Proposed solution
stop the editor cursor movement (ignore the rest of the buffer) when the user raises his finger from the key

Research direction
Start by locating the prompt editor and the multiple-choice “other” input handling, then trace how left/right key events are buffered. Done means cursor movement stops when the key is released and any remaining buffered movement is ignored; verify this in both workflows described.
