Saying that Sailfish has no global copy and paste is a bit dishonest when you just mean the browser application.

There are plenty of other applications where you'd want to select text and copy it that does not work.

Unless they've changed it recently and I've not noticed, Mail is a prime example. To copy text out of an email you have to first reply to a mail so it's quoted in your reply. Then you can copy text out as it's an input now.

But, I wouldn't call people dishonest. When you've an OS that is missing so many 3rd party apps you have to rely on the browser a lot so having a substandard browser there too is a second slap in the face. The browser could solve the app issue but two years on, it's still frustrating.

cue someone saying the source is on github, go fix it yourself.... 3.... 2....
