But having that code in LzInputTextSprite:

  document.onselectstart = LzTextSprite.prototype.__cancelhandler;
  document.ondrag =  LzTextSprite.prototype.__cancelhandler;

 causes text selection to stop working in globally in IE7, and Safari/OSX.

(Actually,  inputtext selection still works in Safari for some reason with
this code, but
regular selectable non-input text cannot be selected )

Do you have any ideas how we can keep text selection working in IE7/Safari
but
not have the unwanted selection of everything?
