[Bug]: Unable to select multiple lines of code in the file viewer on Android #30178
Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/mobile
Steps to reproduce
- Open any code file in T3 Code on an Android device.
- Long-press or attempt to select a portion of the code.
- Try extending the selection to include multiple lines.
- Observe that the selection remains restricted to a single line.
Expected behavior
Text selection should support selecting multiple lines, just like a typical code editor or text viewer. Users should be able to adjust the selection handles across lines and copy the entire selected code snippet.
Actual behavior
Text selection is restricted to a single line, making it impossible to copy multiple lines of code.

iOS has the same problem in this file viewer, tracked separately in #33178. With word wrap off, source text (JSON, YAML, code) can't be selected at all. With word wrap on, a long-press only offers Copy for the whole line.
PR #31286 fixes this issue on Android but deliberately leaves iOS on its existing renderer, so #33178 stays open after it merges. Linking the two in case it makes sense to extend the long-press flow to iOS.
