Hey Blints,
I know these kinds of problems with those tools very well and have also been struggling with them the first few times I used them. But I think once you really get used to how they work, there should not be a problem anymore, at least that's the case for me. I might be able to explain some little things:
1) Do I understand correctly that you type in some text with the text tool? Or are you referring to words you write as a freehand annotation with your pen? (Are you using a pen at all and do you have pencil mode enabled under edit mode -> settings?)
If I assume correctly you mean that you type text with the text tool and use a pen and also have pencil mode enabled, then on my tablet I can create a text field by selecting the text tool and touching the screen with my pencil and then typing in some letters. When I'm finished I touch the screen with the pencil again outside of the text field. I can now see the finished text field. When I try to move a textfield with the pencil now, the tool switches to the selection tool (mouse icon) as soon as I touch it with the pencil and I can pull it around across the screen. When I leave the screen with the pencil it switches back to the text tool.
2) With the snip and paste tool it seems to be that it creates a white rectangle to hide the cut part and writes the pasted part in the pdf as soon as you leave edit mode. So if you didn't move it very far and the areas overlap it hides the pasted content. While this is a bit unlogical in my opinion I think you can get used to it and adjust the rectangle. If you want to edit the pasted part again you have to enable the option to edit annotations that are saved in the pdf (also in the options of edit mode). I had a conversation about this exact topic with Mike in another thread: https://zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/forum...-9929.html
There were some thoughts and recommendations I shared about this in the thread but I'm not sure if any of them are practical suggestions for Mike to implement sometime in the future.
Cheers, Malte
