Tested on Samsung Galaxy S10 running Android 10

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Copy text from an application other than Bitwarden
  • Open the Bitwarden App
  • Log into your vault
  • Add a new Item
  • Scroll to the "Notes" section
  • Long Press in the field

Expected Result: The option to paste appears

Actual Result: Unable to paste.

Notes: I have validated the ability to paste works in iOS as well as in the desktop app and browser extensions.

@mpbw2 commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2020):

This appears to be a bug with Xamarin.Forms when using an Editor control within a ScrollView. Some folks seem to have had luck with some hacks, none of which are working for us unfortunately. I'm in the process of updating to the latest Xamarin.Forms (4.5.x) so let's revisit this once that's ready. (Followup: no change in behavior in Forms 4.5.x)

Workaround: If you type something into the field (anything, like a single char, then delete it) it seems to poke the system into allowing cut/copy/paste to work again.
