Keep drawer from showing while trying to select text

[Steve]

For a sample: user your demo here: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/drawer/index

To reproduce:  Attempt to select the text : "Hi Tom, Since Monday I'll be out of office, I'm rescheduling the meeting for Tuesday" by clicking of the left of the H in Hi and dragging right.  You'll notice the drawer opens and becomes semi-cumbersome to select the text. 

My issue:  My users need to be able at times to select the text that is in the display window of the drawer to select for clipboard use.   Each time I click on some text  and drag right the drawer opens. 

Is there a way to prevent the drawer from activating while I'm trying to select text?  Can i put an attribute in the div wrapper that prevents it from listening for an open?   My users aren't going to be using this on a tablet or phone so I don't need a 'touch' type show event to occur.  I only want the drawer to open/close when the three lines are clicked.

I'm going to answer my own post.  I didn't realize there was an option when constructing the drawer named : swipeToOpen.  I set mine to false and it works perfectly.

Hello Steve,

 

Thank you for updating the thread with the solution.

Indeed there is a swipeToOpen option for the Drawer widget and it is enabled by default. Disabling it will enable selecting the text without opening the drawer.
