ok, George is a nicer name than Zoho, maybe.

Anyhow, I verified that after the cut&paste toolbar appears over the in-place caption editor, any tapping of the tool icons will cause the toolbar to disappear without any of the toolbar functionality being processed. Specifically:
1. went to Evernore and copied this string: "prior text"
2. Went to MLO and created a new task with this caption: "new text"
3. without exiting the inplace editor, longtapped the word "new". It became selected/highlighted and the cut&paste toolbar appeared. 4. tapped the copy icon in the toolbar. toolbar vanished. Back to evernote and pasted: result was "prior text" - conclusion., nothing was copied 5. back to MLO. doubletapped the text to open inplace editor. Longtapped the word "new" to select & highlight it and open the cut&paste toolbar. 6. tapped the cut icon in the toolbar. toolbar vanished. Back to evernote and pasted: result was "prior text" - conclusion., nothing was copied. back to MLO, the word "new is still there. conclusion, nothing was cut. 7. doubletapped the text to open inplace editor. Longtapped the word "new" to select & highlight it and open the cut&paste toolbar.
8. tapped the paste icon. toolbar vanished but nothing was pasted.
9. doubletapped the text to open inplace editor. Longtapped the word "new" to select & highlight it and open the cut&paste toolbar.
10. tapped the select-all icon. Nothing was selected.

Repeated all of these tasks on the caption in the edit-task page. "copy" copied, "cut" cut, "paste" pasted and "select all" selected all. conclusion: the cut&paste toolbar works, but when it is invoked by selecting text in the in-place editor it is limited to a single function which is vanishing when tapped.

It is the same Android (4.4.2 kitkat) version. Same phone. Note 3

After I saw the initial posts tried it on my phone and replicated the issue hence my first post in the thread. After posting I tried the " tried copy/paste on a different field. long press existing task >tapped 3 dots> copy text in Title field>pasted it in inbox for a new task. It worked so copy/paste worked in that instance.. Then I went back to the task caption and tried copy/paste operation and it worked. I tried multiple times with different task captions.

But I still think there is some problem with copy/paste based on what I just experienced. MLO Clipboard does not seem to be clearing at the moment. I tried few different copy/paste of task captions but I am getting one of the first caption I copied every time I try to copy/ paste. I even restarted the phone hoping it will clear the clipboard but it still has that one old caption/text string in the memory. Any where in MLO I try to paste still the same caption/text string is getting pasted.

This seem to be an MLO issue in this instance from what I can see because I opened a text editor (jota) typed some text, copy/pasted within Jota and it is working (no text from MLO is showing up). It is getting complicated to test..

I am on V2 version 2.016

(Changed name to George like from Seinfeld). Serenity now.

    I thought that i understood this well enough to document it in
    Jira for the developers but now i am confysed again.

    Yes, I am on Lollipop  5.1.1

    I get the screen with the copy tools which vanish when i try to
    use one of the tools. After the tools vanish,  the text i tried
    to copy is not available in the copy buffer.

    In this most recent post, zoho (may i call you zoho?) Is
    apparently saying that the copy does work on kitkat therefore
    showing that the problem does not happen on that Android version,
    do i have that correctly? In a previous post Zoho confirmed the
    bug. Was that under some other Android version?

        task. It worked.

        Now when I try to copy the caption of a task it works. It
        worked outside of inbox (in a different view) too replicating
        screenshot posted by Dwight A except for the copy handles. I
        guess Sir Dwight is running Lollipop.

            Tried copy/paste. Looks like I am getting same issue.
            Once I hit copy icon, tools are gone and when I tried to
            paste the copied text nothing gets pasted.

                Tank you Lisa. I checked again the tools and for me
                they do not work. As soon as I press one of these
                tools, the editing mode immediately exits. When I try
                to paste the text, no text is pasted (actually the
                text of the last Android copt operation is passed).
