I like the design of copy paste, but I hate how quickly and easily it is activated. I constantly activate it inadvertently, way more often than I do purposely. I like being able to rest my thumb on the screen as I scroll slowly, I think as infrequently as I use copy paste I would rather compromise that.

Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity/response time? If not, is there a third party copy/paste app and a way to deactivate the stock one?

I want copy and paste just not in this form.

I know this is kind of an old thread but I am looking for a way to disable or tweak copy and paste also.

When I am trying to push a button on the screen, it is instead trying to select the text inside the button as a copy/paste item. Then I have to push somewhere else several times trying to get rid of the text capture box thing, so that I can try and push the button again. It's frustrating and just like original post, it happens way more than my intentional copy/pasting and I would like it gone or altered.

Seems to be way more sensitive than it used to be since I updated to ios 6.
