text select when drag in javascript

When I make an element in the page draggable,and once I drag it,text outside this element will be selected.

I wonder why and how to prevent this?

Here is my example:

When I drag the gray div and over the paragraphs as fast as possible,the text of the paragraphs will be selected.

you need to prevent the default behaviour

trigger.onmousedown = function(e) {
    this.style.cursor = "move";
    e.preventDefault(); // this line
    ...
}

Fiddle
