637353 - Tap and Hold should prompt for paste

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 636666

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Austin King [:ozten]]

On HTC Evo Fennec nightly

1) Go to https://identi.ca/
2) Click login
3) Tap and hold password input for several seconds

Actual:
Nothing. When you release the virtual keyboard pops up

Expected:
After a second or two a Copy/Paste dialog should allow you to paste a password into the input

I'm unable to use KeePassDroid and strong passwords in Fennec, as I'd have to type them after swapping back and forth between apps.

The stock browser exhibits this tab and hold to paste feature.

Yes - we should support copy and paste in text field using the same context menu options as in the URL field.
