Verified issue does not already exist?

What happened?

In Firefox, I cannot click to place my cursor when I try to rename a budget category. I have to use the arrow keys to move the cursor. I can do it in Microsoft Edge, so I believe it is a bug only in Firefox.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Using the Firefox browser, try to rename a category and click somewhere in the middle of the text box to place the cursor there. Nothing happens.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Fly.io

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Windows and macOS

It's seems to be related to the input's grandparent div's draggable attribute, disabling it while renaming fixes the issue.
