Text selection disabled w/ Kwizcom Calendar Plus

Problem
After installing Kwizcom Calendar 3.2.90, text selection is disabled on your sharepoint site on pages that have the calendar webpart. This was a huge issue for us since we had the minicalendar in the page header.

Workaround
Modify one of the Kwizcom javascript files (“12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\KWizCom_KSCP\KSCP.js”) to comment out the drag drop functionality (See lines 13, 21 & 22) -

   1:  function kwiz_cal_DragDropOnLoad(q)

   2:  {

   3:      g_WPQ = q;

4:

   5:      // attach onscroll event (needed for recalculating table cells positions)

   6:      window.onscroll = kwiz_cal_Scroll;

7:

   8:      if(browseris.ie || browseris.safari)

   9:      {

  10:          kwiz_cal_Calculate_Cells();

11:

  12:          // disable text selection for ie, safari

  13:          //document.onselectstart = function(event) {return false};

  14:      }

  15:      else

  16:      {

  17:          // firefox does not execute this function when assigning to onscroll event, but IE & Chrome do

  18:          kwiz_cal_Scroll();

19:

  20:          // disable text selection for firefox

  21:          //if (typeof document.body.style.MozUserSelect != "undefined")

  22:          //    document.body.style.MozUserSelect = "none";

  23:      }

  24:  }

More Info

The official word from Kwizcom Support on this issue is as follows:

“The issue is caused by dragdrop functionality. The new release version 3.3.00 will allow the users to disable drag drop through settings. Currently there is no exact timeline for release.”
