HI, when to release "better-handling-of-text-selection" feature?

Webix JS
1

By the way, is that a good idea to add canSelectText property to webix.ui.view?

2

We plan to change the default strategy to “allow text selection by default” and block text selection only during drag-n-drop actions.

I don’t see any good reason to block text selection for webix views, except of preventing native text selection during drag-n-drop and similar actions.

Also, if text selection will be enabled by default, you will be able to disable it through css, so separate canSelectText is not necessary.

3

When use shift to select several rows, will trigger text selection from topleft, how to disable that?

4

The shift-selection itself must not cause selection. Can you provide some more details how to reconstruct the issue ?

5

Yes, you can open this link in IE8/IE9, then use shift-selection in the first list, that will cause text selection, how to disable?

HI maksim, any update for this? Thanks!

I can confirm the issue, there is no simple solution though. We will try to provide the fix as part of the next build.

If you need the fix ASAP, in IE8-IE9 you can use a js code to block text selection

$$("id").$view.onselectstart = webix.html.stopEvent;

Thank you very much.
