S Pen, Smart Select issue

[davehorne]

First, thanks for reading this in English.  I can speak and read Dutch but prefer to write in English.

Hi, my Note 10+ is up to date as of today, 6 Oct. 2019.

I have a suggestion \ complaint regarding Smart Select with the S Pen.

I go to extract text to place in memory and that works just fine. I extract the text and am given a choice to Copy or Share. So far, so good.

I press Copy and the selected text is save to Clipboard. I am then forced to press Back on the Navigation Bar three times before I can proceed further. This issue also existed on my Note 9 as well. Smart Select functions as it should but it is always mildly annoying that I am forced to press Back three times. I trust I explained this well.

Is this a known issue ... or is it just me?

Thanks, Dave Horne

Hi Dave,

I see what you mean, however this is the intention of the design. You've copied the text to your clipboard, however you might have wanted to share the text as well. Closing this pop up view wouldn't allow you to do this anymore.

You might've also wanted to do something with the screenshot, so that's the second time you have to tap the back button if you didn't want this.

The third back button is to close smart select. You might've wanted to select something else, if it would close the function for you, you would have to open it again.

This isn't a bug, but instead you're just closing the three functions you've opened to get there. It's really easy to just tap three times on the back button. You can literally perform this action within a second. So I don't see the developers limiting the users' options as described above to save just three taps on the back button. Sorry!

Kevin, thanks for the reply.  At the very least I'm glad to learn that this isn't just me. 

All the best, Dave Horne
