Changing Behavior of Kendo Grid Inline Editing Selected Text Drag/Drop

[Ben]

Currently Kendo grids, like this one, behave like tables in MS Word when selected text is dragged/dropped.  I would like my Kendo grid to not have this behavior and instead act more like Excel, where clicking and moving the mouse while over selected text will change the selection. 

Is there an option for this in the Kendo jQuery Grid?

Hello, Ben,

I am sharing the answer from the ticket here as well, in case anybody else encounters the same problem.

The described behavior can be prevented by returning false in the input's dragstart event handler. The Edit event of the Grid can be used in order to get all of the inputs.

      	function onEdit(e) {
          e.container.find("input").on("dragstart", function() {return false;});
        }
