Hey all

Recent versions of Pd allow you to edit scalars of [drawsymbol] and
[drawnumber]. It turns out to be quite a headache for patches that use
clickable scalars with [drawsynmbol]/[drawnumber]. Often when clicking,
the text/number gets the click, stealing it from the intended click
action. I use double clicks to remove notes in a sequencer, but if the
number is double-clicked, the text comes gray and thus prevents the
intended delete action. In another case I use '+' as a label for a
button that adds segments. Now you cannot quickly add segments because
the the text becomes hi-lighted and receives the clicks.

Before opening issues on Github, I'd like to check what the wider view
on this is. I see how editing text could be useful, however I very much
would welcome a flag to disable it. Could that be a way to deal with
this?

Thanks,
Roman
