Bug Description

krillin rtm 122

The popup menu should be displayed higher up than it currently is as it's getting obscured by your finger that is doing the press and hold

Steps to reproduce:
- type some text in the messaging app
- double tap a word
- long press on the word

Expected results:
- popup menu should be displayed well above the selection so it's not blocked by finger

Actual results:
- popup menu is sometimes not displayed at all, but when it is it's partially obscured by finger and displayed too low

This feature does not seem to work reliably at all:

1 - The double-tap does not reliably highlight a word
2- When you do manage to highlight a word more oftne than not a long press seems to cancel the selection rather than bring up the contextual options menu
