Edge Dev: Highlighted text mini menu no longer appearing.
This handy little feature has been missing for a couple of weeks now and the latest update hasn't fixed it. Or is this another case of "open favourites in new tab", where handy features are removed ...

According to their support article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-beta-channel they've deprecated the mini menu.
Which sucks, because this is the only way to get a context menu after selecting text with TOUCH. Now, it is impossible to copy text from a website using touch.

This came back again briefly. And has now been taken away again :/ I can't believe they struggle to keep such simple features in, yet brag about how supposedly brilliant Edge is all the time on X.
