Overview text copying not working on Pie

[laurencewo]

When swiping up to switch between apps I can't seem to copy text like you're meant to be able to, is anyone else having this issue? In home settings suggestions I have 'Overview selection' on.. any ideas?

Didn't work for me either.

 

[radioactive70]

I can

 

[Blaize19]

I can, also.

Are you running a third party launcher? A lot of those new overview features require the use of the stock launcher.

I think its a bug.
I get the vibrate as if it's working but nothing happens.
That's on both Nova and Stock Launcher

Have you double checked that Overview Selection is toggled on in your homescreen settings?

Swear I had three pics.

Oops, no attachment.

 

[Blaize19]

And this. Correct order would have been 2nd pic, 3rd pic, then the 1st pic. Sorry.

Yeah it's on in suggestions and I'm using the stock launcher. Google support couldn't fix it so made me send a bug report and are looking into it.

 

[Blaize19]

Interesting. Any progress on this?

 

[laurencewo]

No progress yet unfortunately

This is the answer. Change your language from English UK to English US and it'll work.

Has to be USA English system setting for some ******* moronic reason.

 

[Eggmundo]

But some of us would like to keep English spelling in the correct way!

That's so daft. I've e-mailed them to say that's the issue and see if they'll fix it.

Since the Google app updated yesterday this is now working for me with English UK as the language, didn't take too long for them to sort it!

Thanks for the language tip guys! Mine wasn't working, because it was set to "English (Netherlands)". Setting it to English (UK) solved it!
