offset(X) should be less than line limit(Y)

I had a similar error in Android 12+ EditTexts. It happens when, for some reason, EditText.getText().length() (called Y in the error above) does not match the actual length of the copy-pasted text (called X in the error above).

Our workaround is to extend EditText and then manually call setText("", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE) (in our case, in onTextContextMenuItem), since it appears to correct the expected text length with the actual text length.
