It is the copy operation from inside the editor text area that doesn't work.
If you copy text in another place, it gets stored in the clipboard and the past operation works as expected. If you copy text selected in the editor text area, the clipboard is left unchanged. Pasting gives you whatever was in the clipboard.
So trying to copy text from the editor text area and pasting it in another app or place doesn't work since it's the copy operation that doesn't work.
The text selection is also not working as expected since it behaves slightly differently than other iPad text editable text field. But this is not a real problem.
