Describe the bug
When using iPad with Apple Pencil (or similar stylus devices), a blue text selection highlight appears during drawing. This creates a poor user experience as the selection overlay interferes with the drawing interface.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a page with ReactSketchCanvas component
  2. Start drawing with Apple Pencil on iPad
  3. While drawing, occasionally the pen may stop registering strokes
  4. At this point, a blue selection highlight appears (similar to text selection)
  5. This happens even when the pen is still in contact with the screen

Expected behavior

  • No text selection should occur during drawing
  • The canvas should handle all pen/stylus input without triggering browser selection behavior
  • Drawing should work smoothly without visual interference from selection highlights

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Device: iPad (tested with Apple Pencil)
  • Browser: Safari and Chrome
