Hi,

I guess the "disabled" attribute comes from Wicket.
If a FormComponent is setEnabled(false) then Wicket will set this attribute
to the HTML form element (input. textarea, etc.).
IMO the correct solution is to override the CSS rule that disables the
selection of the text.

Play with

-webkit-user-select: none;
     -moz-user-select: none;
      -ms-user-select: none;
          user-select: none;

Just change the value.
