            Bug ID: 125318
           Summary: Copy & Paste does not work
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Android Viewer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jim.avera at gmail.com

Description:
In other Android apps, a long-press activates a copy/paste feature.  It seems
to be a standard mechanism, because the same options (copy, paste, etc.) appear
in many different apps.

But this does not happen in Libre Office Viewer for Android.  Long-press on
text in an open text document does nothing.

If the experimental (editing) option is enabled, then long-press seems to
activate a text selector (two cursors), but the enclosed text is not put into
the clipboard and doing 'paste' in another app does not get anything from LO
Viewer.

The lack of copy-and-paste support is pretty crippling for users who need to,
for example, copy URLs from a text document and paste them into Firefox or
another browser.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LO Viewer for Android using the Play Store
2. Open a .odt document
3. pinch-zoom to make the text large enough to see easily
4. long-press on a word

Actual Results:
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:
The standard Android copy/paste dialog should appear, or something equivalent
which allows copying text so it can be pasted in another app.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Samsung Galaxy s7 running Android 8.0.0

By the way, the "current" version in the Google Play Store is 6.0.0.0.alpha+
which is a little suspicious.
