Do you know if this is a new problem, or has it always been like that?
I think some javascript upgrades may have caused problems...
I have a vague memory of trying it out on an iPad before and it not being this bad.
1.12.13 includes an update to jquery mobile that should get things back to where they were (ie, not perfect but not "extremely difficult"). As of this moment that release is deployed only to the dev server (with test and en), but deployment elsewhere will come soon.
Yup, working better. Will start a dev ticket with issues at some point (don't see one that exists already).
Can't paste in edit mode. Tap and hold brings up magnifying glass, but after I let go I don't get paste, etc. options
