Disabled Buttons still call callbacks when clicked

See original GitHub issue

Button widgets, when disabled, still invoke their callback function when clicked. Using the example code below, the message ‘Start button was clicked’ can be seen in the browser console when the (disabled) button is clicked.

from bokeh.models import Button, CustomJS
from bokeh.plotting import show

callback = CustomJS(code="""
    console.log('Start Button was pressed.')
""")

button_one = Button(label="Start", disabled=True, callback=callback)
show(button_one)

IMO disabled widgets should be greyed, non-interactable, and (as a consequence) never fire callbacks. I’m not sure what “disabled” would mean otherwise.
