    Description

      After selection of text the copy/cut/past popup is not shown on iOS.

      Scenario 1:

      1. Select part of the text using press and hold.
      2. Press and hold on the selected text.
      3. The "Copy/Paste" system popup sometimes shortly pops up but immediately vanishes.

      Expected behavior: The popup should stay visible.

      Scenario 2:

      1. Press and hold without text selection.
      2. A popup will show. Select the "Select all" option.
      3. Press and hold on the selected text.
      4. The "Copy/Paste" system popup properly shows up.
      import QtQuick 2.15
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.15
      
      ApplicationWindow {
          width: 640
          height: 480
          visible: true
          title: qsTr("Test")
      
          TextArea {
              id: textField
              selectByMouse: true
              persistentSelection: true
      
              wrapMode: Text.WrapAtWordBoundaryOrAnywhere
      
              layer.enabled: true // Qt 5.15.7 bug
      
              text: "Test 1\nTest2"
          }
      }
      
      

      The problem does not occur in Qt 6.2.2.
