[iOS 17.1 / iPhone 14 Pro Max]  
In Testflight #13, any attempts to select text or bring up the iOS copy/paste popup causes text input to end. Makes it impossible to select text or copy/pasting in any text field without using the three finger gestures. Currently this happens on all the text input fields except the list title field _ **while inside** _ a list (strangely enough).

Just did a test on Testflight #12.1 and it’s not an issue there.

I can reproduce it here in my ‘list of lists’. This is very annoying, will look into it Monday.

I’m having the same issue. I’m not sure if it’s related, but I’m also not getting the full list when I screenshot to copy a list into text.

I came here to say the same thing. I’m unable to Copy & paste any task text. It was working until recently.
