copy/paste broken when datepicker attached to input field

copy/paste broken when datepicker attached to input field

Hi guys,

I've come across a small problem using the datepicker from jquery-ui. When attaching a datepicker to an input elements as below, the key bindings for copy and paste seem to be lost.


$(document).ready(function()
 {
    $('.datepicker').datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy' });
 })

<input class="datepicker" type="text" name="mydate" value="01/01/1981">

I suspect that this is because the use of keyboard shortcuts that are attached to the datepicker. Is there a way to via configuration disable the keyboard shortcuts? Or any other work around for this issue?

(This seems to have been reported a few years back by  nathan.maves

Thanks in advance,
Mik.
