I'm not able to reproduce this, the cursor moves both up and down with the spacebar long press gesture. Please elaborate or post a video.

It only works within a paragraph of text for me.

When the gesture is invoked on a single line, it does nothing (only scrolling up works then). It also breaks as soon as you scroll out of the paragraph.

@Whiskers9000 video reproduces what I experience. Sorry I will try to get a second device to record it soon.
