Description Lucy Vaux-Harvey 2024-11-12 10:17:42 UTC
On /cgi-bin/koha/authorities/authorities.pl?authid=xxx, attempting to click-and-drag to select and modify text in text boxes results in the whole sub-field element and text box being dragged (similar to how an image would be), and no text being selected. 
As sub-field elements on this page can be re-ordered within their field by clicking and dragging, this behaviour seems to be taking precedence over the more usual text-select click-and-drag behaviour in text boxes. 
When hovering the mouse over the text in these boxes the cursor is a text-selection style "I-beam" cursor, which indicates to a user that click-and-drag selection should be possible. Maybe list reordering with click-and-drag could be limited to clicks outside of text boxes, leaving click-and-drag text selection working normally?

What exact version of 23.11? That should have been fixed in 23.11.06 by bug 36388, making just a handle icon off to the left of the subfield be a drag target.

Thanks Phil, the library is running 23.11.05 so will upgrade and re-test.
