Bug Description

testing windowed mode with mouse
selected text with left hand mouse button, which brought up tool tip to "copy"
selected copy, navigated to an empty text box, selected with left hand mouse button, tried right hand button click on mouse
expected tool tip for "paste"
result was nothing - no combo for raising "paste" including long touch actually in this mode.Keyboard ctl+v worked fine.

Looks like something the SDK should provide?

in the latest image on Nexus4 while testing - there now seems to be right hand mouse function, when selecting text I can get a copy/paste prompt appropriately

However the autoprompt is still on for selected text, so you get 2 different prompts for copy/paste etc.
It's definitely improved, just need to somehow turn off autoprompting when a mouse is connected ?

lowering the priority accordingly

summary: - no right hand click function for mouse
+ right hand click doubles down on prompts (which autoappear from selected
+ text)

The right click has been there for quite some time, before we started the race for convergence.

There is no "official" way to detect whether we have mouse attached, the QInpiutDeviceInfo is about to come. Unity8 has ported something from the upstream code, but we are waiting till upstream ports that back to Qt 5.4. I won't happen, we will have to move some code to the UITK and provide temporary API for that.

Text input context menu positioning has been improved, I'd suggest you to check it once more and revisit the bug. Thanks!
