The continuing problem with iOS copy and paste

Yesterday, I wrote about Kirk McElhearn’s new “Hey Apple, fix this!” column, with a description of a bug I’d like to see fixed:

Every so often (perhaps one in five calls), my phone rings and iOS refuses to recognize my slide to answer. The slider appears, but does not recognize my touch. I’ve tried everything I can think of, but once it goes in this mode, there’s no way for me to answer the call. But once the call goes to voice mail, my phone returns to normal.

Rene Ritchie also does a bug raising column, this for iMore, called Bug Fix. Here’s a link to the collection, worth checking out.

One column in particular struck me, as I have this problem all the time:

There’s a bug in iOS 9 affecting some people using its pasteboard: The gist is, when you go to copy and paste something on your iPhone or iPad, instead of pasting what you just copied, it pastes whatever you copied previously instead. So, if you copied some text yesterday, then copy a web link today, you’ll paste the text instead of the link. It doesn’t happen all the time, but does happen often enough that we’ve gotten several requests for help troubleshooting it.

I’m on the latest release of iOS and this still happens to me fairly frequently. I’m glad to see Rene and Kirk daylighting these issues. Hopefully, someone at Apple will put some effort into getting these things fixed. And good for Rene for filing radars on the each bug, offering workarounds, too.
