Description Brion Vibber 2011-12-14 01:01:15 UTC 
I can do regular select-copy selection, but it seems hard to activate the editor's selection state.

To select for copy in Android 2.3.6:
* tap and hold over text
* move handles to select more or less text
* tap on selection to copy


To select in the editor....
I somehow got into selection mode but then couldn't get out again. ;) Not sure how best to handle this other than maybe taking over the default selection behavior.

Seems similar in iOS 5 (iPad first-gen, 5.0.1).
Comment 2 James Forrester 2012-06-22 17:34:33 UTC 
Fixed in new version of VE through using native implementation.

Mass-moving old VisualEditor tickets to the VE product. Search for this message to mass-delete bugmail.
