Q. In use case 4.5, is step 2 a drag?
A. Yes. I have updated the spec

Q. If so, as the user drags, you expect immediate feedback in the form of text high-lighting, correct?
A. Yes. Both text high-lighting and the select 'pegs' (the two orange carets shown in the wireframe) are used to provide visual feedback.

Q. For step 4, do we have those menus designed somewhere? Like what they should look like?
A. We don't have visual designs for these menus yet, however the layout of these menus will probably follow the wireframe. There is a small possibility of the menus changing to a pie menu layout as pie menus have some advantages in a touch environment. Otto is also away on holiday until the 3rd of Jan so it will be a challenge to deliver a visual design before he gets back.

Q. Also for step 4, do we have the contents of the menu defined? Should the menu simply contain one entry, "copy"? Or did you have other menu items in mind as well? (if so, we'll need to open a new ticket for that to be done in a different branch)
A. In an environment where you can edit the text the other options on the menu would include 'Cut' and 'Paste'. In the context of the current version of Evince I cannot see any options other than "Copy" that are specifically tied to the current text selection.
