IOS 8 copy paste problem + slowdown

Upgraded my ipad2 to ios 8. General slowdown, apps crashing on startup, huge lag when typing or selecting email from inbox. I've also experienced a strange copy/paste issue In Safari, facebook and other apps. When I copy and try to paste, I often get an old item I copied instead of the last item. Yesterday I tried to paste a URL repeatedly and kept getting text I copied from notes earlier in the day. I gave up. Today when I tried to copy and paste a sentence from a website, the URL that wouldn't paste yesterday kept pasting! Anyone else experience these issues?

Did you reboot your device? I know the s-ware updater probably did already, but I had the same issue, problems after the update, then I powered down my iPhone, powered it back up, and all features were back to normal for the most part, at least as much as to be expected with this release so far.

for me...it seems to be ONLY in safari...

for example i can copy/paste from 'notes' app and email with NO problems.

Yes, 8.1.1 seems to have fixed cut and paste, the speed, the crashing, and most of the wifi.

I updated to 8.1.1 today and noticed that this update specifically addresses unnamed bugs affecting the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s. I haven't tested it extensively on my iPad 2, but so far my limited results are encouraging.

FWIW my letter to Tim Cook got a callback, a long chat with tech support, and another callback in which I expressed my displeasure with the tech support call. But I suspect Mr. Cook has removed me from his Christmas list.

Yay! Is this to say that it's now SAFE to update both my iPhone "5" and iPad "2" to iOS 8.1.1 ???
