Research direction

Start by reproducing the address-selection behavior on Android 13 with the reported app version, replying to a message with several addresses. Check whether copying one or multiple selected addresses between To, Cc, and Bcc produces the reported error. Done means addresses can be selected and moved between those fields individually and in groups without an error.
