Simply how do we prevent this pop up menu when UITextField text is selected.
Desired functionality:
user can tap either field and edit text. When field is tapped and textField is empty, i have text generated then textfield.selectAll(self). This is the point that the menu pops up.
How to disable UITextField editing but still accept touch? answers do not resolve this issue nor allow user to still use the textField.

When using textField.selectAll(), passing the textField's delegate makes the pop up menu appear.
For no popup menu use textField.selectAll(nil)
