I don't remember where I saw it, but there was a thread about that. Something to do with the root making everything selectable by default.

I have the same recollection. I thought it was a tutorial though. I’ll search this thread

This is not the same behavior that I’m seeing though. Text seems selectable by default, and I want it not to be.

Thanks! So I should be able to put DisableSelection over my entire app, and then use SelectionRegistrar (or one of those classes) to enable it on the areas I want to allow?
