Copy/paste deletes original text

So if I edit a post, all the original text disappears. How do I edit the entire post without having to do a lot of unneccessary re-typing?

Ok, looking back at this, I didn't explain it right. Let's say I want to copy the second post and paste it to another topic, but my other post already has text in it. If I paste the second post ^up there somewhere else with text already there, the original text is overwritten. Get my drift?

Hi smile

To be able to paste without overwriting the text, you have to long press to get the contect menu while the input field is activated.
This means unfortunately that it can be a bit more tricky to paste the new text at the correct placement.

When I click "edit", 1rrrrrr left is what I get when I try to paste. I press the "alt", then the 1 key. I get no choice of copy, paste , cut, just 1 then r . Infinitely, if I keep my finger on the 1/r key.
Using mkey, all the keys map out correctly except for the that "alt" key and the "sym" key. When pressing either of those two keys it's like I've pressed nothing.
