I can only copy & paste all of a segment-I can’t select what I want-
is there some kind of trick
I went to mail-tried to select a small portion of text-went to notes/pasted-but it was whole thing-tried for like an hour before I wrote this
(the little magnifier popped up for cursor placement & after I held 123 for a few-selected copy-put cursor where I wanted-held it-dragged it-no highlight no select- almost nothing
-it does copy the whole thing though)
also it isn’t or doesn’t become part of my keyboard-it’s a little pop up thing that shows itself when I hold 123 for a few
-help if you can being able to paste all is still cool (like select all on pc) but I would love to be able to select

SwirlyMMS works fine in the UK on O2 contract. I have that and the MMS app, I use Swirly to send, and MMS app to receive! Once you have that password from the SMS notification the MMS app will be able to pick them up, but it doesnt seem to be able to send – I did have MMS enabled, until I phoned O2 and they they promptly disabled it…fools. I can still send and recieve MMS using these apps tho )

So…now we have TWO copy and paste functionalities for APPLE to choose from. Will they hurry up and pay one of these guys for doing THEIR job for them and steal their development and include Copy Paste functionality already.

I found MY problem….

You need to Double tap…after second tap, keep your finger down and begin dragging your finger in order to select specific text.

The highlighting does not work for me any longer.

The Copy|Paste|Stack|Close buttons are all there, but it wont allow me to select anything specific. You can still use the copy button, which copies everything and puts it into the stack and you can use the stack and paste buttons. They all work, however, you cannot highlight anything specific.

Ok I have a few suggestions for this application!

1) When Browser is open and I click the address bar it is already highlighted but if I want to deselect and pick a part I want to highlight to copy I cannot do this as once its unselected I cannot re highlight the editable text.

2) There is a great Safari bookmarklet I found that turns webpages into editable text in a really cool way you just select an area you want to copy and it turns it into editable text without opening it into a new page does it right on the current page! Though heres the problem I noticed with Clippy it will not let me highlight the selected editable text even though I see COPY/PASTE right there in front of me and sliding my finger across the text I see the magnifying glass but nothing is getting highlighted!

The link to this add on can be found here http://code.google.com/p/networkpx/wiki/CopyingTextFromSafari

3) Maybe making the Copy/Paste menu bar a little bit transparent to see the text behind it would be nice as well.

Alright those are my suggestions the first 2 are very critical and I hope they can be fixed!
