Hi, you can copy, paste, select, delete etc by taping and holding for a few seconds to get theses functions activated. It is just that on s3 every option is displayed by icon and not by caption or text at the top.

See attachment.

I too am having this problem. I've had my S3 for a few months; copy/cut/paste worked fine. All of a sudden (within the last week or so), whenever I try to copy text, whatever application I am in (Chrome, messaging, Gmail, etc.) crashes and nothing gets copied to the clipboard.

Anybody have any ideas/solutions?

I had the paste problem but I did a factory wipe to get rid of it. It was driving me totally crazy.

I'm totally happy now.

Or you can root and delete the corrupted clipboard files manually, which is what I did.

I had the problem last week, fixed it, and it came back yesterday.

I am having the same problem. All Samsung has to offer is to do a factory reset ...
