No more copy/paste and char deletion of .docx with OnlyOffice

Hello,

I realized that, in OnlyOffice (via Murena app or Nextcloud app), I am not able anymore to copy/paste and delete the characters in docx (and docx only) documents.
These problems seems to apply only to OnlyOffice apps.
So not sure it is eOS 3.7.2 (A13) related, but :

1/ With default eOS keyboard (AOSP)

  • no copy/paste menu is displayed when a word is long or double-taped
  • not able to delete (backspace) a single char that existed before the document was opened by OnlyOffice.
  • able to delete only the last char typed provided it’s not ā€˜space’
  • not able to delete the last char typed if it is ā€˜space’

2/ With Gboard

  • no copy/paste menu is displayed when a word is long or double-taped
  • able to delete any char (normal behavior !)

Does someone have the same problem and/or a solution ?

Thanks !

I am unable to do much in the document . You are correct the copy and paste is not working correct both in the phone or in the PC version accessed from my laptop (Linux).

Once I do the copy I can’t even enter text with the keyboard. I can’t even figure out how you ā€œsave asā€?

In my experience and opinion the OnlyOffice suite is something of a ā€œtasterā€. Wanting to be productive, I contacted OnlyOffice support who (at the time) recommended open an account with them, consider purchase and upgrade from v7.xx to v9.xx.

So this upgrade to latest involved a free trial where OnlyOffice behaved more like indicated in their Help pages (which are declared based on latest). (I cannot remember whether payment would have opened further benefits.)

I never did pay as working primarily cloud based did not suit me.

On a desktop, OnlyOffice is almost working fine for me.
The save as feature (I never used it) seems weird…

OK, the OnlyOffice app we get with Murena may be limited at some point, but its basic functionality seems to be dependent of the keyboard.
As I do not plan to keep Gboard (just installed it for the test), I wonder if there is solution for this.
