android:textIsSelectable doesn't work when OnTouchListener is implemented

Question

My EditText in xml wrapped in LinearLayout:

 <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="TYPE HERE"
            android:padding="7dp"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:cursorVisible="true"
            android:textIsSelectable="true"
            />

And in my fragment:

 mEditText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                mEditText.requestFocus();
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.showSoftInput(mEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
                return true;
            }

Copy and paste feature doesn't work on the edit text ?? When I comment onTouchListener it works !

From the source (http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/5.1.1_r1/android/widget/TextView.java) it seems that onTouch events are handling the IME, keyboard, copy/paste, and similar operations. If you override those methods or provide custom listeners, make sure you handle the events yourself.
