Apps zooming out when text is selected

Hi All, 

We have seen that when you select some text from a Corona-made app, Android zooms out and pushes down the app in order to place the menu bar for the copy, cut, etc. buttons.

Here’s a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEDAn7l1Ato&feature=youtu.be

This gives the user a very low-quality experience with the app, and we were wondering if anyone has found a solution to this?

Thanks in advance,

Fer.

Are you using native.newTextBox() or display.newText() to create the text?

Hi Rob, 

Thank you very much for your interest! 

We have observed that it happens when the text is from a webview, which we have created using native.newWebView( ) method. Sorry for not clearing that up before.

Can you put together a simple project that demonstrates this issue and use the “Report a bug” feature at the top of the page?

It needs to be a complete project including a build.settings and config.lua and an assets needed to run. You will get an email from the bug tracker with the Bug Case ID#. Please post that back here.

Thanks
