Current behavior:
On an <ion-textarea> and under iOS, the user cannot perform Select, Select All, Paste actions.

Expected behavior:
The user should be able to do all the stated action on an <ion-textarea> as on the native one.

Steps to reproduce:
Simply put <ion-textarea> and try to run it under iOS, try to any dummy text and then try to edit it, select it or even copy/paste content (you won't be able to do it, that's the bug !)

Note
The issue may appear also in Android, I haven't test it yet!

Did you put the <ion-textarea> in an <ion-item>? I had this problem a while ago and this fixed it for me.

@judithhartmann Works like a charm using the way you suggested. I believe they need to talk about it in the official docs !
Thank you!
