jQuery draggable text selection bug

Question

I am not sure if this is a bug - but in this example there is no way to select the text underneath the elements that can be dragged.

Same issue with form elements.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

If you look at the source code for that page, you'll see that it calls

$("div, p").disableSelection();

... which explicitly disables selection on all divs and ps on the page, including those beneath the draggable elements.
