Description of the Issue

In many text editors, you can drag-and-drop text from one place in the document to another. Some user may like the feature, others (such as myself) do not and wish the feature could be disabled. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any way to do this.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open any text file
  2. Select some text, click and drag, then release the mouse
  3. The text is cut from the original and pasted to the new location

Expected Behavior

The ability to turn this feature off (in Settings > Preferences)

Actual Behavior

NA
