Unhappy Updated Title: 2 BUGS! iOS cut & paste bug ; restore BUG ⤷ DATA LOSS!⤵

For fellow users of the fastmail iOS app (on iPhone or iPad or iTouch/iPod) who also have a Mac:

Have you seen this bug I've been encountering? Several times, I've been editing an email, cut some text to the clipboard, and when I try to paste, there's nothing in the clipboard; if I bring up the menu, it's got Select and Select All, but not Paste.

As a result. I'm losing parts of email drafts.

I'm not sure if it's an app or iOS bug; if it's the latter, I suspect could be related to Continuity (the inter-device cut-n'-paste feature) which has also been flaky lately.

For the second time, I just used a great, but massively overpowered tool to get back a paragraph or so.:
https://www.fastmail.com/settings/restore - given the load it presumably puts on servers.
I'm thankful for the restore feature... and perhaps is should have options/a mini version to restore 1 folder, or restore back just 1 hour?

(FYI: Repeated undo's haven't worked to get the content back.)

PS Hi, everyone. Hope you're managing OK during the pandemic.

[Edit several months later: Wow, no replies??? EEK! Restore isn't working any more! Details in msgs below.]
