iOS: Menu is not working if overlapping selected text

[juliusknorr]

Actions Performed

1. Open the Nextcloud iOS app
2. Login
3. Select a folder and add a new text file
4. Copy & paste +1000 words
5. Tap on done
6. When green checkmark is shown on file open it again
7. Mark some text
8. Now use different options like bold etc.
9. Close, reopen and repeat previous step

Expected Result

Selected menu option is carried over

Actual Result

At some point the menu options are not carried over anymore and text remains unchanged. Happens on iPad with some options as well.

Analysis

It turns out iOS will not pass though touch/click events for anything that is overlapping with the selection (e.g. bold/italic/underline, parts of strikethrough in the following screenshot):

I have not found any reasonable option to work around or avoid this yet. This might be something we need to consider when further discussing about menubar redesign especially on mobile.

FYI @mejo- @max-nextcloud

Also cc @nextcloud/designers As mentioned i didn't find a way to change this behaviour of iOS so we might need to discuss changing the UX to make this work at some point.
