iPad 18.6 copy paste dialog

Trying to use the standard clipboard dialog in text fields doesn’t work for iOS 18.6. I’ve raised an issue on it but I was wondering if others have experienced it too.

On iOS 18.3 the clipboard could appear with a double tap/hold at the start of a text field but this now happens about one time in ten on 18.6. You can activate a magnifying lens, drag the cursor to the correct position and release. The clipboard dialog containing select, cut, copy, paste etc would then appear. In 18.6 you can sometimes see it flash very briefly before disappearing.

If anyone knows of a workaround that would be much appreciated, whether that be an additional app or voice command.
