POmissing copy/paste menu in UITextField/UIWebView
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm having a problem and I can't find a workaround for it.</p> <p>I have a view with a <code>UIWebView</code> implementation and a <code>UITextField</code>. On both, when I tap, I do not get the copy/paste menu to appear.</p> <p>The <code>UIWebView</code> has text in it (text only) and I can select either a word, or a paragraph or make the magnification glass appear and manually select the text I want.</p> <p>On the other hand, <code>UITextField</code> can take input and works as intended, except for the copy/paste functions.</p> <p>Nothing is sub-classed. I need only the default implementation of iOS for the copy/paste functions.</p> <p>This problem is not in a single view. I have another <code>UIWebView</code> with the same problem elsewhere so I think this is a global problem.</p> <p>I have done all the obvious (import UIKit and Foundation frameworks, assign properties, releasing etc) but again I'm stuck on this.</p> <p>What might interact/interfere with such a simple functionality, disabling it? Moreover, always under the simplest implementation, what else is needed for this to work? (any framework I'm missing, any property etc).</p> <p>Such a simple thing and I'm stuck with it. If anyone has any idea its much appreciated. </p> <p><strong>==== Edit ====</strong></p> <p>The problem is not caused by my code in any view or class.</p> <p>I have added a new view (the application is tabbar based) with only a UITextField and a UITextView with the default "Lorem Ipsum" text. On the textView I can also select text but no menu to copy/paste/select/select All. This also happens in the textField (empty) where no paste menu appears (I copy some text from another app, ex. Safari or Notes).</p> <p>It seems the problem is somewhere else affecting universally the app, in all views.</p> <p>I have removed Frameworks references and put them back but nothing happened. I'm still trying to figure from where this comes. </p>
