copy/paste is broken in 1.1.9.28 Early access [duplicate]
asked 2015-09-17 10:36:56 +0200
Copying is not working anymore; only pasting,
as in : when I try to copy something, it pastes the last copied item.
I cannot tell since when this has been happening;
but I copied / pasted picture files with file manager before this started.
The same here! I used to copy/paste some SMS to resend it to other contact. But the clipboard only offers the copied one from before the update.

e.g you want to copy a url out of the browser... when you tap on the url on the bottom it scrolls up and the url is already selected. When you tap the clipboard icon here, the last item in the clipboard will be pasted and will replace/overwrite the url!!!
To copy it you have to do additional steps: tap on the already selected url again (long tap / hold your finger on the text about 2-3 sec.) Now it will select the term you are tapping at. if you long-tap on the selected item again (still 2-3 sec.) it will select the complete url. (Second long-tap can be tricky with short terms, better select a word with 6 letters+) Now you can tap the clipboard icon and the text will be ready to paste it somewhere else.
Hope you understand my description...This works for me.
