I am a bit surprised that the content of the tooltips and the output panel can be changed (both in 6d513469f9b2 and Isabelle_23-Oct-2015).

Step to reproduce:
 * open a theory file
 * type a lemma
 * select some text of the output panel
 * type any letter

Result: the selected text is gone and replaced by what has been typed.
Expected: the output panel should not be changed.

This odd behaviour stems from d40f906bb13f, which is the update to jedit-5.3.0. The jedit-changes file says:

  - Allow editing, but not saving, of read only files.
    (Feature request #422 - Dale Anson)

The corresponding tracker item http://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/feature-requests/422 reads like this:

  Jedit must allow user to make edits in a readonly files. It is very
  wrong to disable this in any case: jedit is the _text editor_

Just from the wording, the feature request was formally wrong, and would not have gone through on any Isabelle mailing list.


This incident means I need to figure out a different way to avoid edits on output-only text areas.
