Problem Description

Dragging executed code from an IPython Console input to the script editor should copy the code and not cut it. The code should remain in the IPython Console.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Input code in the IPython Console.
2. Code displays in executed input.

3. Drag and drop code to Script Editor.
4. Code is cut across.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A copy of the code should be made in the script editor.

Previously executed inputs in the IPython console should be read only.
