When long-pressing inside BasicRichTextEditor to open the text selection toolbar (Paste / Copy / Select All), the app crashes.

The crash occurs consistently when holding text inside the editor.

Environment
RichEditor: 1.0.0-rc14
Compose BOM: "2026.06.00"
Android: reproducible on latest Android SDKs
Kotlin: 2.0.4
Crash
FATAL EXCEPTION: main

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Extracting native reference is only supported from
androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidClipboard instances but received
com.mohamedrejeb.richeditor.clipboard.AndroidRichTextClipboardManager

at androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidClipboard_androidKt.getNativeClipboardManager(AndroidClipboard.android.kt:28)
at androidx.compose.foundation.internal.ClipboardUtils.hasText(ClipboardUtils.android.kt:78)```

My code inside chat box:

```kt
BasicRichTextEditor(
                state = richTextState,
                enabled = sessionState is ChatSessionState.Ready,
                modifier = Modifier.weight(1f),
                textStyle = TextStyle(
                    fontSize = 16.sp,
                    color = if (isDark) white else Color.Black
                ),
                keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions(
                    capitalization = KeyboardCapitalization.Sentences,
                    autoCorrect = true,
                    keyboardType = KeyboardType.Text,
                    imeAction = ImeAction.Default
                ),
                keyboardActions = KeyboardActions(onSend = {
                    val rawMarkdown = richTextState.toMarkdown()
                    if (rawMarkdown.isNotBlank()) {
                        onSendChatClickListener(rawMarkdown)
                        performReset()
                    }
                }),
                interactionSource = interactionSource,
                cursorBrush = SolidColor(if (isDark) white else JadeGreen),
                decorationBox = { innerTextField ->
........

I verified that the app-level clipboard is still Compose's default clipboard:
val clipboard = LocalClipboard.current

LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    Log.d("Clipboard", clipboard::class.java.name)
}```
Output -> androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidClipboardImpl

The crash only occurs when opening the text selection / paste menu via long press.
