UI design problem

[Jim Lambert]

Food for thought.

Presumably text in the field is editable by the user.
Therefore the field text cannot be locked and mousedowns will be used for text selection rather than grabbing of the entire field, correct?

Is the field user resizable? If so, do you present the user with dotted border and resize handles?
Could clicking on the field’s (or image’s) border trigger the grab rather than a click within its content area?
