Drag text from locked field

[Bob Sneidar]

Oh cool. Thanks. I don’t mind having to use a modifier. I do think however that drag and drop from an unlocked field with traversalOn disabled should still be allowed. I get however that a field would need focus which traversalOn allows, so perhaps fields need another property like allowEdit.
