@Danfro I still don't have focal ported yet. Do you have any ideas about this issue?

[Danfro]

I can confirm this missing behaviour in focal.

Since cinny is a web app, my guess is the different behaviour in morph and the popup menus for copy/paste. But how to solve this or how that technically works I don't know.

Just some random pages as examples:

Focal morph

xenial morph

Ah right. Sounds like the WebEngineView doesn't seem to send these actions to the content hub anymore? Anyway, maybe they can be reimplemented. or maybe using Morph webview instead of WebEngineView will fix the issue :thinking:

[nitanmarcel]

Should be easy just to re-implement the web view using the one offered by ubuntu touch, since it already has custom actions.

Can't remember why I haven't used it in the first place. I vague remember it had something to do with externally opening links

[Danfro]

Glad I could give you an idea and some info to work with.

I guess this is now fixed on the very latest 20.04 devel builds after merge of https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/qtmir/-/merge_requests/68 a day ago?

Tried the freshest dev just now, and it doesn't work :/
