Android 8 Oreo EditText do not allow paste on long press

I have simple custom view with EditText and the copy/paste popup is not showing on Oreo. It is working on Android 7, it is even working on my Emulator running Android 8 Oreo, but it is not working on real device with Android Oreo (Google Pixel, Nexus 5X). When I long press on my custom view with EditText, the popup menu with copy/paste options is not displayed at all on real device (again, it is working on Android 7 and lower and on Emulator running Oreo). But when I fill some text in the EditText, and then do a long press, the copy/paste popup show up even on Oreo on my device.

Really weird behaviour. I copied all my logic in my custom view so just the simple EditText is there and still no result. I think that maybe it is about new auto fill feature that breaks it down?

If you have any method like this in your Application, please rename it.

  protected int getUserId() {
 return getCurrentUserRepository().getId();

}

So I found that the problem is, when the EditText has set negative side margin.

Sample layout that is not showing copy/paste popup on Android Oreo (real device only):

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="-4dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="-4dp"/>
