Disable text selection in iOS (touch devices)

[aptonline]

Description

As you have implemented reordering tiles by long clicking on a tile this fails under iOS as long pressing a tile engages iOS’s text/image selection:

By disabling this for iOS (and other touch screen devices) you might be able to rearrange tiles as expected.

The following css may be all that is needed:

-webkit-user-select: none; /* Chrome all / Safari all */

Fixed with 2594a7c

While the text selection is fixed in 0.6.5 dev image allowing tiles to be rearranged you have to specifically select an area of the tile that doesn’t include an image or a link otherwise iOS engages the image or link preview. See the video below.

Also note that selecting the menus or settings is very hit and miss in iOS and sometimes take a while to trigger. The burger menu however seems to open consistently on the first attempt.

I'm having the same issue - let me know if you need any input to help fix it

Issues should ideally be left open until confirmed working as expected otherwise additional comments can be missed.
