Editing with Collabora disables Android clipboard

[spalmesano0]

Actual behaviour

• When selecting text, the only options for cutting, copying, or pasting text exist within Collabora on the Nextcloud app. Text cannot be pasted from another app using the default Android clipboard.

Expected behaviour

• The native Android clipboard should be available, so that text can be copied and pasted from other apps.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open an odt document.
2. Hold down on text to select text to cut/copy or paste text from clipboard.
3. (alternatively) Begin editing and try using Gboard to paste text by navigating to the text editing layout.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1174 (Android O), #938 (Android lint), #461 (Android Permissions), #3407 (Editing files with Collabora doesn/t work on external storages), and #1829 (Android 连不上服务器).

@rullzer this is something for Collabora, right? Or is this done by our RichDocuments app?

[rullzer]

Collabora handles this. Richdocuments just relays you to the collabora server.

However, I assume that this is something with android and the webview.

Would there be any use in reporting this on the Collabora side or is this something they wouldn't be able to fix?

[tobiasKaminsky]

I'll ask Collabora.

It also does not work when using Chrome and Nextcloud/RichDocuments.

@pleasantarmour can you test latest 3.8.0RC1? It is available via Play Beta Program.

@tobiasKaminsky I do not have the Play Store on my phone, but I will try it once the F-Droid version is live. Thanks for the update.

Still doesn't seem to be working on my end with 3.8.0.
