Very strange...I long press on something in my browser, the little text selection bar pops up. I press copy. I then try to paste into another app, and I then get either nothing to paste or I get whatever was on the clipboard before.
I've also tried with xscope. Same issue...
Any ideas? Anyone seen anything like this?

Im using both the gmail app and the sprint email app, but im unable to copy and select text in any of my mail. Can someone tell me how? its a dumb question, but i couldnt figure it out on the phone.
thanks in advanced
I miss being able to do this on my Evo. I'm surprised that the Epic doesn't seem to support it.
I don't see how to do more than word either there is an app in the app market called "Copy paste" it will let let you copy and paste anything even text from a webpage or even text from a picture.

Slide out your keyboard, hold down the shift key, and use your finger on the screen to highlight the text, when you release you finger from the screen, it will copy.
Go to any text input area, hold your finger down and select paste.
Voila!
Haha nice trick it works but a little finnecky. Still I like how the iphone worked where you can just hold down and select the area you wanna select. I hope this changes on a firmware or android update. Which update would this change belong to anyway? And how might I got about contacting someone about the issue.
Thanks for the tip
Copy and paste is officially supported in froyo. Nice trick though.
Any programs out there or is there a way for my htc shift to automatically open the text messaging program whenever I open the keyboard from the home screen ? Obviously you wouldn't want this happening when you are browsing a webaite !
Thanks, mike

This is not exactly what you want, but close. Open the keyboard, then press search + s (i.e. hold the magnifying glass and press s). In settings, applications, shortcuts, you can define many more, or change this one.
Thanks for the reply. But yep I found the shortcut option but not exactly what I wanted. I figured most sliders opens text messaging automatically so I figured there should be a way on the androids....anyone have any idea ?

Hey guys, getting some strange issues with my address bar on my phone.
Its only started recently and I can't work out what I've changed or pinpoint when it happened. All I have done is rooted the phone and removed some of the bloat (all of which on the safe list)
When I go into a browser or have to enter text into a text box I press the text box to try to enter text. If the box already has text in it, it used to select all the text so I can type over it/copy it etc. Now it seems to select all the text, then puts my cursor where I pressed, as if I double clicked.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or know what has caused it/how to fix it.
The second issue I'm having with the opera mobile browser. When I start to type an address it auto completes - gives me options of the ending (.co.uk/.com/.net etc) But it automatically completes the address with the top result.
Is this just me or is it a common issue? Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks in advance
Was just having a quick play around ans it seems its something to do with swype keyboard...can't work out how to fix it, any ideas at all?
As far as i noticed this happens if you have to manually add something into your keyboards wordDB.. just tap anywhere and back to the line you were and it should not bug.

Hi guys,
I have an Asus K52Je, and freshly installed Windows 8 on it. What I have noticed is that I cannot highlight text anymore in almost all places after typing with keyboard. As a workaround I just double tap the WINDOWS key on my keyboard and it works again as long as I dont type anything, then it goes bad again.
Does anyone have a clue how can I solve this?
Thanx
I haven't seen this at all. Is this on the desktop or in an app? What app (desktop or otherwise)? If you double-click a word, does it still get highlighted, or is highlighting completely gone? If you drag like you're highlighting, and then hit [Backspace], does the text get deleted anyhow?

This happens in all MS Office products, some other desktop apps as well, and widows itself in search areas etc.
What does not work is highlighting by holding left click and dragging the mouse. Otherwise any other kind of selection works (double click, holding shift and arrow keys, ctrl+a).
Fixed!!!!

Great! Please change the subject line of the thread (you can do this by editing the first post) to be [FIXED] instead of [Q] so other people know it was solved.
I tried editing but it's not giving me the option to modify the title! :S

First let me tell you that this has been going on for a long time. I first had trouble on latest stock ROM. I factory reset it and still had problems. So I just now switched to Paranoid Android because I thought it was my ROM that was broken since it happens on all browsers except for Chrome. It still is happening in the default browser that came with Paranoid Android.
Here is what is happening.
I go to any page on the web that has a multi-line text box. I try to start one with text already in it, like by quoting somebody on a forum. I start by highlighting a word and copying it. Then if there's text in the box I place the cursor between any two letters. Then I click the handle/cursor until paste comes up, and right after I do, the cursor will move somewhere like in the middle of the next line or lower. This happens even before i hit paste. If I use the copy command like in thumb keyboard by assigning paste to a function key, sometimes it overwrites text to the left or right of the cursor. This stuff happens with any keyboard including stock android keyboard. Sometimes I'll be typing text and then backspace stops working. Sometimes when that happens I have to click with my finger somewhere if I want to change something. But sometime that doesn't even work. Sometimes I will paste text at the bottom of the quoted text and the text will magically somehow be pasted at the top. This happens often. This only happens in browsers. I've tried stock, boat browser, dolphin. It happens in all of them. This is all repeatable for the most part. I'm at my wits end. Does anyone know what I can try? Is my nexus 10 broken? It seems like a software issue, but I don't know how since I've wiped everything and started over.
Any help appreciated. Anyone who can fix this I'll buy a beer.
