It’s very frustrating to not be able to copy texts after you highlighted them. Is there anyone who knows if it’s possible to do it in the app?

hi asvsalonga,

May I suggest an alternative for you as followings,

#1. Tap on the highlighted text and the contextual menu should appear as below

#2. Tap "Clear" in the contextual menu

#3. Now, long press on the desired word for selection, and then grab the text selection handler to adjust the text selection

#4. Tap "Copy" in the contextual menu

#5. Tap "Undo" button at the upper right hand corner

#6. Tap "Undo Clear Highlight" in the popover menu to get back the highlighted text.

Hope this help.

Best regards,
