In previous versions of Sailfish OS Plain Text files were opened with the Notes app. That was not quite intuitive, but Notes is a working text editor which allows selecting and copying text. Now, the Documents app is the default application (in Settings/Transfers and Settings/Storage for the Documents folder) for plain text files, selecting and copying of text seems not to be possible

I'm on 3.2.1.20 and just downloaded a sample text file. when I opened it, it opened it with the notes app and not the documents app.

I used a note shared via bluetooth. Thanks for the hint, I will do some more tests.

That's a behavior specific to Transfers and files in the Documents folder. I opened https://together.jolla.com/question/219967/shared-notes-via-bluetooth-are-opened-with-documents-app-only-on-target-device-32120/ additionally for this.
