Cannot move text select markers

Open bviefhues opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

When trying to select text in a-shell, I can select a single word with double tap. However, I cannot move the select start and end markers (the „lollipops“). That makes it impossible to copy more than a single word. Would be great if a-shell allowed that.

It does work (I can move the select start and end markers), but it also sometimes does not work, in a way that is not easy to predict.

2 clicks select a word, 3 clicks select a line; however, the markers cannot be slid to expand or shrink the selection.

I am not able to reproduce your issue: the markers are sliding on my test machines.

Update: I've had another report of the same issue. It seems to be specific to iOS 17. Can you confirm that you are using iOS 17? (it will help me in narrowing down the cause).

Confirmed. iOS 17 is it.

Confirming iOS 17 as well.

Hi, the issue appears to be fixed in the latest TestFlight version: https://testflight.apple.com/join/REdHww5C (I mean: I can now move text select markers on the iOS 17 simulator and an iOS 17 phone where I could run tests). I'm making an AppStore release.
