[SDK] Text selection issues

[Magdalena Mirowicz]

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

This is a long list of findings, not a bug report, thus invalid for UI Toolkit. Separate bugs should be discussed and filed.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

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.
