Unable to Follow Links in Google Docs/Drive

It seems I am the only one having this problem... but I have a fairly large google document that has a linked table of contents at the top. The document is basically non-navigable without using the TOC, but ever since docs went "editable" I have been unable to follow links. When I click on hyperlinked text, a balloon pops up that says "follow link" but I cannot push the button. I've tired long-press, quick pressing, pressing slightly above or below the actual button, pressing "enter" instead of tapping the screen, and a whole slew of even less rational things.

This document is a quick reference that I've built for myself over several years, and has become fairly important in my ability to do my job... :( Any help would be appreciated!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.2 OS (Froyo) and the most recent updates for Drive/Google Docs.
