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 for no reason whatsoever? Thanks

     So they added this back briefly and have now removed it again. I'm getting sick of seeing Microsoft big up Edge on social media, when they can't even keep some simple functions in it. They still haven't added back "open favoruites in new tab" for example.

    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.
