I had this exact issue. The problem is exactly what Rahul Dole said in his answer above.

I spend a few days on this trying tons of different things. I noticed that when the orientation changed that the visible WebView onLongClick worked again...so I came up with this little gem. Indeed its very hacky but it works!

Use this in your class that extends WebView:

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

    if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){

        int temp_ScrollY = getScrollY();
        scrollTo(getScrollX(), getScrollY() + 1);
        scrollTo(getScrollX(), temp_ScrollY);

    }

    return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
