Some end users mentioned that the paste option is missing in the browser's context menu when they try to paste content in a text field, also when the application is installed.
 


The key combination Ctrl+V works, but is less intuitive

It also works as soon as the text field contains 1 character
 




Is this something that can be set in the Universal UI?

Hi Harm,

When you click the place here the first characters of the text would appear, the browser understands and shows the Paste options in the context menu. However, if you click anywhere else in the field, the field is rather focused and not the text input, if that makes sense. The browser then doesn't show the paste option.

Your cursor also changes look when you hover over the text input part and the field part.

Right-clicking on the first line where text would be typed
Right-click much lower than where text would be placed shows no Paste option

The browser sees right-clicking the field the same as right-clicking any part of a website. Only when you right-click in text-input, the Paste option becomes available, so this looks to be normal browser behavior.

This Community website also does the exact same thing. You can try it out when replying on this comment. Right click on the first text input line, and right click on let's say line 3. The Paste option only appears the first time.

What we experience is different. I have now tried all options, but it does not work as expected in the Universal UI.

The text field in the community works as expected at the same PC.

So you don't experience it like this? (I do use Edge, but Chrome reacts the same way)
