Description
Even in the demo, you are able to select or highlight lines of code if selecting and dragging vertically from the right of the code editor. This largely seems like an unexpected behavior. Is there a way to prevent any selection of the code if the cursor is outside of the editor itself?

Research direction
Reproduce the selection behavior shown in the linked demo by dragging vertically outside the code editor. Start from the editor integration entry point and trace how pointer selection is handled. Done means dragging from outside the editor no longer selects or highlights code.
