    I’ve had mixed results. Sometimea it pastes, but not where my cursor was, and I have to mess with it to get it where I want.

    For example, click reply to a comment, then click the quote button, and copy/paste a section of the comment you are replying to. You’ll see that your pasted text is now in front of the angle bracket “>”.

    I also experience this problem.

    I can cut or copy without trouble, but long-pressing on the cursor to paste in the clipboard’s text is flakey: only rarely does it open the Paste pop-up, and even when it does, moving my finger to select Paste instead moves the cursor, highlighting a block of nearby text.

    As a workaround, I can type a short placeholder word, (and, but, the, too… something that is easy to long-press on). Once that word is highlighted, the Paste option is present in the pop-up.
