chrome sets cursor to text while dragging, why?

Question

My application has many drag and drop features. While dragging I want the cursor to change to some grab cursor. Internet Explorer and Firefox work fine for this, but Chrome always changes the cursor to the text cursor.

Answer 1

None of these solutions worked for me because it's too much code.

I use a custom jQuery implementation to do the drag, and adding this line in the mousedown handler did the trick for me in Chrome.

e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
