sorry, it didn’t make it to 1.7.5. Will be fixed in later release. 1.7.6

I haven’t seen anything like this dialog/popup before (on iOS). Are you sure it’s not coming from a community theme or plugin?

@ariehen Same result when turning on restricted mode and disabling all plugins (I use no theme, only my own custom-made css).

That menu does not come from obsidian core. Which phone/android version/keyboard app do you use? Does this happen with default theme? Enable restricted mode, use default theme, restart obsidian. Post a screenshot of this happening. Thanks.

Save mode: on, CSS: all off. View mode: reading view Theme: default light theme [bug-obs] I’ve no clue where this pop-up comes from, but one thing is sure, it didn’t happen before v1.7.4. Right now it’s impossible to copy text in reading mode

No theme used and no plugins during testing, only my custom css. FYI I can even invoke it from windows as well. It’s a special keyboard shortcut which I actually never use, here’s a screenshot from win11. [image]
