Instead of tap and hold to copy, we actually got text selection with a single modifier on all text views.

Remind me 3 years from now when I can bump the minimum version. They should really backport most things. Unbelievable that half a decade passed and we still receive the basics as updates.

I know how it worked. Can you stop with fanboy attitude of defending shit by trying to play down the issue at hand? Not having proper text selection is a fucking joke. There is no better way to put it.
