I agree that this is a bug

PopUpWIndow is a useful way to simulate a PopOver as used by ios

Please fix thanks :-)

no any workaround so far? it was opened already more than half a year ago...

I object

How can a bug become obsolete !

It is a bug, and a bad one !

Do I have to rewrite my code and tell my customers that it is because Android does not support copy and paste for tablets

Phil

I am amazed!

A fundamental part of modern software is to allow copy and paste

Is android too focused on things like phones, games, etc. ?

An operating system with no copy and paste is so old fashioned

I am lost for words

Phil

I've encountered the same problem too. Why does not Google fix this bug?  

They probably just do not consider this critical in any way. Probably will have to re-write everything to DialogFragments, if it will be at all possible

Because they have flagged it as obsolete

Maybe: best is open a new case

And liaise here so we know that it has been opened and we can complain/add support

Phil

can not belive this! WHY ? If this is the expected behavior of WindowPopup then it should be mention on its limitation or something, why we should find this in Hard way. IF IT IS A BUG THEN BLOODY FIX IT.

How can we get it back in the unfixed  bug list ?

If you're one of the unlucky ones still experiencing this, open a new issue and mention the exact conditions under which this is happening.

Maybe it will help someone. The solution is taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/61126872

```
override fun onBindViewHolder(viewHolder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
    yourTextView.fixTextSelection()
}

fun TextView.fixTextSelection() {
    setTextIsSelectable(false)
    post { setTextIsSelectable(true) }
}
```

#40 thank you it helped me :)

Damn, I'm too late:
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, LITTLE ANDROID BUG!

Oh god, still no official solution for this...

Unfortunately, "post {..}" solution above not working for me, because cause another bug.

I also ran into a problem with WindowManager.addView(customView,params); One of the TextViews in the customView has been set to allow long presses. Long presses on text can be highlighted, but the cursor and copy-cut menus do not pop up
