[Bug 1186381] Re: Can not paste into web forms

 

Ubuntu 14.04 is still affected by this bug. Can't copy/paste text between webapps and regular apps.
Please, consider to fix this bug at least in Ubuntu 14.04, it's an LTS release after all.

Webapps are really fast and useful but we can't use them without
copy/paste support.

Title:
  Can not paste into web forms

Status in Web Browser App:
  Confirmed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I can copy text from one app, and paste it into the URL field of the
  browser, but I don't get a "Paste" option for input fields in the
  webpage itself.

  I found this when trying to log into an internal website, where SSO
  prompted me to perform 2-factor authentication.  I generated the one
  time password using CanonicalAuth, and was able to copy it into the
  clipboard.  However, I was unable to paste it into the 2fa field in
  the web browser.

  I could paste it into the URL field, so I know it was in the
  clipboard.  When long-pressing on the web form input field, I was
  given a menu with "Share", "Save" and "Copy", but not "Paste".
