[Bug 1456611] Re: [SDK] Text selection issues

 

Just to give an example why separate bugs are required here: the
Authenticator is an application from the store that doesn't currently
use a TextField, thus no context menu would be available to begin with.
So it would need discussion whether to change that application or
implement a context menu on the Label component, which then needs
according design. More discussion would be following for Telegram and
"other apps" which unfortunately is not something anyone working on that
bugs should be guessing.

Title:
  [SDK] Text selection issues

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Unable to resize the area for copying and paste         Can't copy one
  word or a few words as the phone only allowed them to copy the whole
  sentence.

  Unable to copy and paste in some apps   Eg. can't copy and paste the
  Google authenticator code, or a number from Telegram app. Testers were
  forced to use pen and paper to write information down.

  The target sizes for the copy and paste options were too small for the
  testers

  It was difficult to select the cursor for adjustment as it was too
  small to be selected.        Testers expected to have a 'handle' so
  that they can select the cursor easily. At the moment, they had to
  long press on a very thin cursor line, which was extremely difficult.

  Difficult to drag the selection box to make it larger or smaller
