+# Mobile Text Selection Prevention Review
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-17
+**Purpose**: Review and apply text selection prevention patterns for mobile touch/drag interactions
+
+## Pattern Applied
+
+```css
+/* Prevent text selection on all draggable/interactive elements AND their children */
+:deep([draggable="true"]),
+:deep([draggable="true"] *),
+:deep(.sortable-item),
+:deep(.sortable-item *),
+.interactive-item,
+.interactive-item * {
+  -webkit-user-select: none !important;
+  -moz-user-select: none !important;
+  -ms-user-select: none !important;
+  user-select: none !important;
+  -webkit-touch-callout: none !important; /* Prevent iOS callout menu */
+}
+
+/* Touch action on containers only */
+:deep([draggable="true"]),
+:deep(.sortable-item) {
+  touch-action: manipulation; /* Allow pan/zoom but optimize for touch */
+}
+```
+
+**Tailwind utilities used**: `select-none` and `touch-manipulation`
+
+## Components Reviewed
+
+### ✅ Already Compliant (No Changes Needed)
+
+#### LineupBuilder.vue
+- **Status**: Fully compliant
+- **Reason**: Already has comprehensive text selection prevention for vuedraggable components
+- **Implementation**: Uses `:deep()` selectors with complete iOS support
+- **Details**:
+  - Prevents text selection on all draggable roster items
+  - Prevents text selection on lineup slot items
+  - Applies to all child elements using wildcard selectors
+  - Includes iOS-specific `-webkit-touch-callout: none` for callout menu prevention
+  - Uses `touch-action: manipulation` for proper touch optimization
+
+### ✅ Updated Components
+
+#### 1. UI/ToggleSwitch.vue
+- **Changes**:
+  - Added `select-none` class to root container
+  - Added `<style scoped>` block with text selection prevention for button and all children
+  - Added `touch-action: manipulation` to button
+- **Reason**: Toggle switches are frequently tapped on mobile and users were selecting text accidentally
+
+#### 2. UI/ButtonGroup.vue
+- **Changes**:
+  - Added `select-none` class to root container
+  - Added `<style scoped>` block with text selection prevention for all buttons and children
+  - Added `touch-action: manipulation` to buttons
+- **Reason**: Button groups used for decisions (infield depth, outfield depth) are touch-intensive
+
+#### 3. UI/ActionButton.vue
+- **Changes**:
+  - Added `select-none touch-manipulation` Tailwind classes to button element
+  - Added `<style scoped>` block with text selection prevention for button and all children
+- **Reason**: Primary action buttons (Submit, Roll Dice, etc.) are core mobile interactions
+
+#### 4. Schedule/GameCard.vue
+- **Changes**:
+  - Added `select-none touch-manipulation` classes to "Play This Game" button
+- **Reason**: Game card buttons are frequently tapped to start games
+
+#### 5. Substitutions/SubstitutionPanel.vue
+- **Changes**:
+  - Added `select-none` class to tab navigation container
+  - Added `select-none` class to player selection grid
+  - Added `touch-manipulation` class to player buttons
+  - Updated CSS for `.tab-button` with user-select and touch-action properties
+  - Updated CSS for `.player-button` with user-select properties
+- **Reason**: Tab navigation and player selection involve frequent tapping on mobile
+
+#### 6. Decisions/OffensiveApproach.vue
+- **Changes**:
+  - Added `select-none` class to action selection grid container
+  - Added `touch-manipulation` class to action buttons
+- **Reason**: Action selection buttons (Swing Away, Steal, Hit and Run, etc.) are tapped frequently
+
+### ⚠️ Components NOT Modified (No Touch/Drag Interactions)
+
+#### Display/Read-Only Components
+- **Game/ScoreBoard.vue** - Pure display, no interaction
+- **Game/GameBoard.vue** - Visual diamond display, no dragging
+- **Game/CurrentSituation.vue** - Player card display
+- **Game/PlayByPlay.vue** - Text feed, needs text selection for copying plays
+- **Game/GameStats.vue** - Tabular data display
+
+#### Decision Input Components (Already Use UI Components)
+- **Decisions/DecisionPanel.vue** - Container only, uses child components that were updated
+- **Decisions/DefensiveSetup.vue** - Uses ButtonGroup and ToggleSwitch (already updated)
+- **Decisions/StolenBaseInputs.vue** - Uses ToggleSwitch (already updated)
+
+#### Gameplay Components
+- **Gameplay/DiceRoller.vue** - Uses ActionButton (already updated)
+- **Gameplay/ManualOutcomeEntry.vue** - Form inputs (needs text selection)
+- **Gameplay/PlayResult.vue** - Display only
+
+#### Substitution Components (Use Updated SubstitutionPanel)
+- **Substitutions/PinchHitterSelector.vue** - Uses parent panel's classes
+- **Substitutions/PitchingChangeSelector.vue** - Uses parent panel's classes
+- **Substitutions/DefensiveReplacementSelector.vue** - Uses parent panel's classes
+
+## Summary Statistics
+
+- **Total Components Reviewed**: 33 Vue files
+- **Components Updated**: 6
+- **Components Already Compliant**: 1 (LineupBuilder.vue)
+- **Components Skipped (Read-Only/Form Inputs)**: 26
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+Test on actual mobile devices:
+1. **iPhone/iPad** (iOS Safari) - Test `-webkit-touch-callout` prevention
+2. **Android** (Chrome Mobile) - Test general touch behavior
+3. **Focus Areas**:
+   - Tap buttons rapidly without text selection
+   - Drag roster players in LineupBuilder without selecting text
+   - Toggle switches in defensive/offensive decisions
+   - Tap player cards in substitution panel
+   - Select actions in OffensiveApproach
+
+## Pattern Rationale
+
+### Why `select-none` on Interactive Elements?
+- Mobile users often tap and hold slightly too long, triggering text selection
+- Text selection on buttons/cards creates confusing blue highlight overlays
+- Improves perceived responsiveness of the UI
+
+### Why `touch-manipulation`?
+- Optimizes touch events for browser (faster response)
+- Allows pan/zoom gestures but disables double-tap-to-zoom on these elements
+- Better UX for game controls
+
+### Why NOT Apply to Everything?
+- **Form inputs** need text selection for editing values
+- **Play-by-play text** users may want to copy/paste plays
+- **Score displays** may be useful to copy scores
+- Only apply where text selection is **purely accidental** and **never intentional**
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+If new components are added with:
+- Drag-and-drop functionality
+- Touch-based sliders/toggles
+- Clickable cards/buttons
+- Tab navigation
+
+Remember to apply this pattern immediately.

+# Mobile Touch Patterns
+
+## Text Selection Prevention for Touch Interactions
+
+When building components with drag-and-drop, touch gestures, or interactive elements on mobile, text selection can interfere with the user experience. Users attempting to drag items may accidentally select text instead.
+
+### The Problem
+
+On mobile devices:
+- Touch-and-hold triggers text selection
+- Dragging while text is selected feels broken
+- iOS shows callout menus on long press
+- Double-tap zoom can interfere with interactions
+
+### The Solution
+
+Apply a combination of CSS rules and Tailwind classes to prevent text selection on interactive elements.
+
+## CSS Pattern
+
+Add this to your component's `<style scoped>` section:
+
+```css
+/* Prevent text selection on all draggable/interactive elements AND their children */
+:deep([draggable="true"]),
+:deep([draggable="true"] *),
+:deep(.sortable-item),
+:deep(.sortable-item *),
+.interactive-item,
+.interactive-item * {
+  -webkit-user-select: none !important;
+  -moz-user-select: none !important;
+  -ms-user-select: none !important;
+  user-select: none !important;
+  -webkit-touch-callout: none !important; /* Prevent iOS callout menu */
+}
+
+/* Touch action on containers only (not children) */
+:deep([draggable="true"]),
+:deep(.sortable-item) {
+  touch-action: manipulation; /* Allow pan/zoom but optimize for touch */
+}
+
+/* Apply to chosen/active drag states */
+:deep(.sortable-chosen),
+:deep(.sortable-chosen *) {
+  -webkit-user-select: none !important;
+  user-select: none !important;
+}
+```
+
+## Tailwind Classes
+
+Add these classes to interactive container elements:
+
+```html
+<div class="select-none touch-manipulation">
+  <!-- Interactive content -->
+</div>
+```
+
+- `select-none` - Prevents text selection (`user-select: none`)
+- `touch-manipulation` - Optimizes touch handling (`touch-action: manipulation`)
+
+## When to Apply
+
+Apply this pattern to:
+
+1. **Draggable elements** - Any element using vuedraggable, SortableJS, or native drag-and-drop
+2. **Interactive cards/list items** - Items users tap frequently
+3. **Custom sliders/controls** - Touch-based UI controls
+4. **Bottom sheets/modals** - Draggable overlays
+5. **Swipeable elements** - Carousels, dismissible items
+
+## When NOT to Apply
+
+Do NOT apply to:
+
+1. **Form inputs** - Text fields, textareas need selection
+2. **Read-only content** - Articles, documentation, static text
+3. **Copyable content** - Code blocks, IDs, URLs users might copy
+
+## Vuedraggable Configuration
+
+When using vuedraggable, also configure touch-friendly options:
+
+```typescript
+const dragOptions = {
+  animation: 200,
+  ghostClass: 'drag-ghost',
+  chosenClass: 'drag-chosen',
+  dragClass: 'drag-dragging',
+  // Touch settings for mobile
+  delay: 50,                    // Small delay before drag starts
+  delayOnTouchOnly: true,       // Only apply delay on touch devices
+  touchStartThreshold: 3,       // Pixels of movement before drag starts
+}
+```
+
+## Example Implementation
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <div class="select-none">
+    <draggable
+      :list="items"
+      item-key="id"
+      v-bind="dragOptions"
+      class="space-y-2"
+    >
+      <template #item="{ element }">
+        <div class="item-card select-none touch-manipulation cursor-grab active:cursor-grabbing">
+          <span class="font-medium">{{ element.name }}</span>
+        </div>
+      </template>
+    </draggable>
+  </div>
+</template>
+
+<style scoped>
+/* Full pattern from above */
+:deep([draggable="true"]),
+:deep([draggable="true"] *) {
+  -webkit-user-select: none !important;
+  user-select: none !important;
+  -webkit-touch-callout: none !important;
+}
+
+:deep([draggable="true"]) {
+  touch-action: manipulation;
+}
+</style>
+```
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+When testing on mobile:
+
+- [ ] Can drag items without text selection appearing
+- [ ] No iOS callout menu on long press
+- [ ] Drag feels responsive (not delayed)
+- [ ] Can still scroll the page normally
+- [ ] Form inputs still allow text selection
+- [ ] No double-tap zoom interference
