The question: A theme bug made text unselectable everywhere (the selection highlight was invisible). While fixing it, we realised some site owners actually want selection disabled as a copy deterrent. So: expose it as a real Theme Settings option — and where should it live, a new "Others" tab or somewhere that already exists?

Why the live editor re-renders from the model to nest a column instead of moving the DOM

The question: The live editor moves actual front-end DOM nodes when you drag something. But nesting a column needs an inner .fw-row that doesn't exist in the rendered page yet — the corrector only creates it at render/save time. So when I drop a column into another column, do we hand-build that inner-row DOM inside the editor frame, or do we re-render?
