Weird text selection on Android app

[limjh16]

Current behavior

When trying to select a chunk of text, the popup which allows you to copy text either disappears instantly, or it doesn't allow you to copy text at all, as shown in the screenshot:

I didn't have a screen recorder set up on phone, but if a screen record of the pop up disappearing is needed I can set it up.

Expected behavior

The prompt which appears should show "copy" and when it does, not disappear immediately

Steps to reproduce

1. write some text
2. try to highlight a word, or select "select all" in the prompt

Environment

Mobile

• Boost Note app version: 0.4.1
• OS version and name: Android 10

I can indeed reproduce the inability to select text within a normal text line. The text is selected very briefly and then the cursor is placed where you were holding down.

Workaround: You can select symbols within a line normally and then drag the selection around to actually copy what you want.

I haven't been able to reproduce the pop-up not giving the copy option. From what I can see in the screenshot it seems as if you don't have anything select; there aren't two cursors marking the start and end. Which could explain why the option is missing.

Hey, you can see the cursor marking the end, and also the text has a green background suggesting it is highlighted.

Hmmm, somehow your Android is convinced you don't have anything selected.

This is what I got when trying to reproduce it:

I hope that when these other selection bugs are fixed that this one will magically be fixed as well.

It's been fixed in the new mobile app.
