The TextArea is currently not very suitable for displaying multiple line text
that the user is not supposed to edit. While one can emulate this with labels,
the developer would have to manually split the string and insert the labels
correctly (which is a pain).
I have attached a patch to create an "editable" property to the TextArea that
makes the uneditable, but still enabled. The difference between "uneditable"
and "disabled" is that the disabled TextArea will be grayed out (blurred?),
whereas the "uneditable" will look like an editable TextArea without focus.
Despite being "focusable = False", the TextArea still receives focus. In my
patch, I have merely "worked around it" by ignoring focus in those cases.
Thank you for considering.
