Sublime Text 3: Disable selection drag & drop from gutter

drag-and-drop, select, sublimetext

Solution

Go to preferences -> settings and add this to user settings:

"drag_text": false

I can't believe anyone would ever want text to move when trying to reselect.

Problem

If I click and drag on gutter (line number margin) to select some lines and then release mouse and click again, ST assumes I want to move selection. But, I don't ever want to drag & drop selection from gutter, unless I explicitly click and drag on selection. And it interferes common logic from other editors, that click and drag on gutter margin just selects lines or modifies selection, nothing more. Is there a setting to disable this behavior, without disabling whole selection drag & drop feature?
