Long-pressing links should allow to copy just the link

[da2x]

1. Send some text plus a link plus some more text in a message (“hello http:https://example.com world”)
2. Long press on the link (keep your finger pressed until a menu pops up)
3. Release finger

Expected: A context-menu with these options: Copy Link, Copy Message, and Resend Message.
Actual: Context-menu with Copy, Resend, Cancel is opened. App is sent to background when finger is released as the link is then also opened in the default browser.

PS: Cancel is not needed in this menu as the entire remainder of the screen is one huge cancel button.

Unfortunately, the tapping behavior of link-enabled text elements in Android is f*****g horribly broken! Have a look at Android issue 3414 if you are really really bored, this goes back to 2009. And yes, I tried the described workaround, it does not work.

Regarding the cancel button, you are right. Removing it now.

Oh, that issue looked quite painful. Leaving this issue open as this should be fixed. Somehow.
