1160261 - [SMS][Text Selection] Copy & Cutting a block of text that includes an attachment will remove the attachment but Pasting that block back will not restore it

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::SMS, defect)

Attachment: logcat_20150430_1028.txt

Description:
In SMS, if you add an attachment that attachment can become affected by text selection. If you 'select all' it will become part of the selection and will be deleted if you select 'cut', however, it will not be restored upon a paste function. It seems like it might be best if attachments were not affected by text selection functionality. 


Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame to 20150430010201
2) Launch SMS and compose a new message
3) Type some text into the message field
4) Add an attachment 
5) Long press on the text in the message field and select 'select all'
6) select 'Cut', then 'paste' the text back in

Actual:
Attachments are affected by text selection options


Expected:
Attachments will not be affected by text selection options
-or-
if the attachment can be removed with the text selection options one might expect it could also be restored with them

This issue also reproduces in Flame KK 2.2; text selection is not supported prior to that

I don't know what is the correct behavior here. We don't support anything than text copy/paste in v2.2.

Hey Steve, can you find out what is the correct behavior here? Also see what the behavior in Email is?

Comment 5

[Steve Chung [:steveck]]

If the mail is in html mode, text selection is disabled; if the mail is text mode, attachment and text is separated. So this behavior does not exist in email.

I just discussed with Omega and we don't think there would be any perfect solution until platform support non-text copy/paste. Hi Peter, do you know any existing gecko bug related to this requirement? Thanks!

I assume you are talking about the support of image paste functionality, please correct me if I'm wrong. Before we had discussed with UX about the same issue during clipboard API discussion, the UX behavior is not very clear for FxOS because not every app supports the image paste option, for example, you can't copy the attachment from message to line. And there are lots of different corner cases that we need to handle for the image paste option.
