Maybe it works to cancel selection if it starts on a non-selectable element.

And one bug in IE:
Also open the component sampler, mouse down and then move cursor
while still holding the mouse button.
Expected: no text selection
Actual: text selection for all text elements
Apparently global onselectstart and ondrag were canceled in
"LzInputTextSprite.js" to avoid this behaviour, cf. [3].
But having that code in LzInputTextSprite:
document.onselectstart = LzTextSprite.prototype.__cancelhandler;
document.ondrag = LzTextSprite.prototype.__cancelhandler;
causes text selection to stop working in globally in IE7, and Safari/OSX.
(Actually, inputtext selection still works in Safari for some reason
with this code, but
regular selectable non-input text cannot be selected )
Do you have any ideas how we can keep text selection working in
IE7/Safari but
not have the unwanted selection of everything?
