I am on iOS 18 and I am able to see it clearly. Seeing the vertical copy/paste menu I assumed it must’ve been set to “larger accessibility font sizing” [1] So I tried setting it to a very large size but I still see it in the bottom right.

So I’m guessing this is a difference in language? or a combination of accessibility text size and language?

I’m not exactly sure where the best position would be for this popup. We can’t hijack the OS copy/paste menu, we can’t place it over the keyboard. In the case of how it looks on Jakke’s device it looks like there is a little bit of room if we place it on the top because the menu might always open downwards? However, that’s not the case for when it opens like this:

We can’t really cover the toolbar buttons because some might be needed while selecting as well.

We might need to wait for OS’s to give us access to tap into the native cut/copy/paste menu till we can make this work best for all these specific cases.

  1. *Settings > Accessibility, then select Display & Text Size. ↩︎
