JCrop: Prevent de-selection?

Question

I'm currently setting up an image-upload cropping sequence.

The application requires an enforced minimum size, however this results in awkward JCrop behavior:

• Clicking without dragging produces nothing.
• Clicking & slightly dragging produces instantly a selection of the minimum height.

One potential solution would solve the above problems:

• Interface opens with a default selection.
• The selection cannot be de-selected.

JCrop has built-in functionality for a default selection, however I haven't yet identified a built-in configuration / behavior to prevent deselection.

Attempts so far -

I've tried this route

$.Jcrop.defaults.onRelease = function(e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     e.stopPropagation();
}

I've also tried modifying the plugin's source in several places, in order to short-circuit the functions which (perhaps) carry out the de-selection, by returning at the opening of these function definitions:

doneSelect Selection.release Selection.done

...without the desired result.

Any tips?
