 When you go to select the code that Press This offers in the Tools Section
 next to the Press This drag-able bookmarklet, the text to COPY into a new
 bookmark that you create on your mobile phone (or computer) is within a
 textarea but on the iPhone you cannot '''select''' the text because it's
 "readonly" (readonly="readonly").

 You need to remove the readonly="readonly" from the textarea and you can
 then select the text on your mobile device to copy it and paste it.

 This is on line '''63 of wp-admin/tools.php'''

 {{{
 <textarea class="js-pressthis-code" rows="5" cols="120"
 readonly="readonly" aria-labelledby="pressthis-code-desc"><?php echo
 htmlspecialchars( get_shortcut_link() ); ?></textarea>
 }}}

 It's the only way I know to make textfields fully selectable on the
 iPhone. (Might be the same on Android, not sure.)

 And so what if the text can be altered when you click in the field, all
 text can be altered wen you copy and paste it anyway.

 Also, it does say below the text field to copy the "Direct Link (best for
 Mobile)" which is not necessary to say, as the Javascript bookmarklet
 works fine on mobile. (with the one exception that the popup window will
 appear behind your current page if it's already open, similar to how
 desktop browser will put popup windows in existing tabs if the page is
 already open, like when you are previewing a page on Wordpress that you
 are editing.)
