Draggable prevents focusing text inputs with mouse

[Ryan]

Hi -- there seems to be a bug with the Draggable widget, where text <input> elements inside the draggable element cannot be focused with the mouse.  See the following simple JS Fiddle:

http://jsfiddle.net/kQ5Sm/2/

Please let me know if there is a fix/workaround for this issue.  Thanks!

Hello Ryan,

Thank you for contacting us. Indeed, this seems like a flow in our implementation. This case should be supported, in general. I am logging it in our bug tracker for further investigation. 

A workaround I may suggest is to use "handle" elements in order to skip the input elements from triggering the drag. Please check the updated version of your fiddle.

Hi, Petyo -- Thanks for the response.  However, the JSFiddle link you sent is the same URL.  Perhaps you copy/pasted the wrong link?

Hello Ryan,

I am sorry - it looks like I got betrayed by jsfiddle "auto-save" feature. Please take a look at the correct link.

Hi, Petyo -- thanks for the updated link.  I played around with absolute positioning and effectively accomplished what I wanted:

Obviously it would be better not to have to use this kind of workaround, but this should work for now.  Thanks!

Hi Taras,

An ignore property has been introduced in the Draggable widget to let you specify child elements for which the drag will not be initialized. You can see a modified Dojo, with the input working, here:
