The pointer-events="none" worked great for that specific case where I had a rectangle behind the text that then got the event. I have another case where I have some text that the user can drag around (using some onmouse handlers). The pointer-events="none" doesn't work in that case - the onmouse handlers aren't called. Is there any way to just disable text selection and keep mouse event handlers working?
