@Skalakid is going to investigate this one

I am going to demote the blocker label as there is no clear offending PR for this one and it looks like it might be device specific issue too. There is a workaround for the user to use the long press and copy to clipboard

[Skalakid]

Hi, I'm Michał from Software-Mansion and I will investigate this issue

After investigation, I found that the problem with text selection on Android had a root cause in the react-native-live-markdown library. It was only reproducible after enabling the new architecture. I reported this bug and asked for help from our SWM team that worked on that. @j-piasecki came up with the fix in the library - PR and @WoLewicki prepared the PR that bumps the live markdown version in E/App

[hayata-suenaga]

is the work being done in this PR going to fix this issue?

[melvin-bot]

@mountiny, @Skalakid, @abdulrahuman5196 Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[Skalakid]

@hayata-suenaga The issue has been fixed inside the react-native-live-markdown library and this PR contained version bump inside it. However, I can see that the library version has been already updated on main, so the issue should be fixed for now

[hayata-suenaga]

@mountiny, it seems like we can close this issue 😄

[mountiny]

@kavimuru @isagoico Could you please retest this issue on latest Android version?

[quinthar]

@kavimuru @isagoico - Can you give an ETA on retesting on Android?

[isagoico]

Apologies that we missed this yesterday. Checking with the team as I don't have my Android charged up and will post the results shortly.

[isagoico]

Tester was unable to reproduce this on the latest version 1.4.72-1
