Dragging cursor does't change in Safari/Chrome

[bartaz]

Webkit browsers (Safari and Chrome) force cursor to be text while dragging even if other one is specified in draggable/sortable options or even in CSS.

It seems that it's caused by not firing event.preventDefault() in webkit browsers in ui.mouse._mouseDown (see: ​http://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/ui/jquery.ui.mouse.js#L92).

Calling event.preventDefault() for all browsers in ui.mouse._mouseDown fixes this issue, but I assume it causes another (as commented in the source).

Quick bug fix (modified from source: ​http://forum.jquery.com/topic/chrome-text-select-cursor-on-drag):

Do this:

$(element)[0].onselectstart = function () { return false; };

to all your .draggable() elements. It fixed the bug for me with Chrome+Safari on OS X using jQuery UI 1.8.1.

This workaround worked for me, thanks!

We should probably just call .disableSelection() whenever we handle mouse start.

This line also cancels out blur events in input boxes inside sortables in Firefox. Removing it fixes it for me, but I guess could have implications on other widgets. I haven't found a way to narrow this down yet, will try to setup a smaller test case today or perhaps tomorrow.

Just when I posted it, I came up with a positive test case in FF 3.6.8 in Windows: ​http://jsfiddle.net/Uhsm6/

That can't be the right solution anymore, as we're getting rid of disableSelection. Maybe this has been adressed already in the rewrite?
