Description

On the OpenClaw Android app (tested on Pixel 8a), users cannot select and copy text from messages in chat sessions. Long-press does not reliably trigger system text selection.

Environment

  • Device: Pixel 8a
  • App: OpenClaw Android

Expected behaviour

Users should be able to long-press a message to select and copy text, consistent with standard Android text selection behaviour.

Actual behaviour

Long-press does not trigger text selection. No copy option is available.

Suggested fix

Ensure message views use selectable text configuration (e.g. android:textIsSelectable="true" on TextViews, or equivalent Compose modifier). If messages are rendered in a WebView, ensure user-select: text is applied via CSS.
