cannot move cursor or highlight search text using mouse

[s11richard]

Hello!

I'd like to be able to allow a user to move their cursor around the search text using their mouse, but that seems to be disabled by this line. Moving the cursor with the keyboard works fine.

This seems intentional, so I was wondering what the reasoning behind it is. Would there be a way to enable mouse-controlled cursor movement?

Yes, please
being able to highlight the selected text and copy is important.
Also being able to edit the text from any point too...
