Add a text editor setting to enable or disable dragging and dropping text with the mouse

[MiloThatch4]

Describe the project you are working on

This would apply to all of my projects.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

In the 3.5 RC 3 and 4.x you can drag and drop selected text with the mouse. When I have something selected and I want to make a new selection I have to click somewhere else and then make the new selection. This often causes accidental rearrangement of text, which is inconvenient.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

If there were an option to disable this feature, it would solve my problem. If this already exists, I wasn't able to find it. Other text editors I have used allow you to disable this feature.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

There could be a check box somewhere in the Editor Settings under the Text Editor tab. It could be enabled by default.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Not that I can think of.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

This is part of the text editor.

+1 for this, I have accidentally rearranged text by dragging it several times but I have never used that feature intentionally. When i want to move a piece of code I generally use Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V instead of dragging it with the mouse.

I'm sure there are some people who use this feature, but for me personally it's used by accident far more than intentionally. Adding a setting to disable it is a good way to solve this.
