While reading email messages in the Gmail app if I want to copy text I will tap and hold over the text - but nothing happens.
This same gesture in the messages app brings up a dialogue to copy/paste/etc...
I must be missing something cuz this should be a simple task.
Long pressing is supposed to work the same way in gmail. I would restart my device and try again and if that doesn't fix it there might be something installed on your device that is causing interference. At worst I would factory reset my device, then if it is still there after it's probably a manufacturer defect and needs to be replaced.
