Description

1. Environment

  • Device: [Pixel 6]
  • OS: [Android 14]
  • APP: [0.10.1]

2. Describe the bug

Pressing and holding text triggers highlight which lets you copy text, but there seems to be no way to cancel the highlight if it was triggered by mistake.

Screenshot_20240901-084136

There is a copy button but clicking outside the highlighted text doesn't remove the highlight, the only way to remove highlight is to copy what's highlighted which isn't ideal.

It'd be nice to have a "Cancel" option alongside the copy button or tapping the area that's not highlighted should be able to cancel the highlight mode.

Love this app best RSS reader for Android 🤍.

Research direction

Start by locating the Android text-selection or highlight interaction handling in the app and reproduce the behavior on Android 14. The work is done when a user can cancel an accidental highlight by tapping outside it or using a Cancel action, without needing to copy the selection.
