fix(core): display drag previews in Firefox and Safari - #3235
Conversation
…ike the editor - The preview was hidden with `opacity: 0.001`. Chrome ignores this opacity in its snapshot, but Firefox and Safari keep it, so they showed no preview. The preview is now off-screen instead. - The preview copies the theme of the editor's container (classes, color scheme, theme variables), the editor's classes and the width of the dragged blocks. Thus images have their size in the editor, text wraps as in the editor, and tables have their grid. - The layout of the preview is inline, so app CSS that sizes the editor (e.g. a height on `.bn-editor`) does not apply to it. Its height is limited, so a tall preview does not reach into the page. - The toggle drop test waits for the highlight before it releases the mouse, so it does not release too early under load.

Explanation
Active issue
#2609requires the drag preview to preserve block dimensions and styling, keep image blocks draggable after a drop, and use reduced opacity. The new preview copies the editor container, copies editor classes, sets the dragged block width, removes the near-zero opacity, and adds a test for width, table borders, color scheme, and editor sizing. The PR description explicitly states that the requested reduced opacity is not changed. The reviewed changes also add no repeated-image-drag regression test and do not change drop-state handling, so they do not establish that an image remains draggable after its first move.Resolution
Implement or otherwise verify reduced opacity for the native drag preview without hiding the Firefox and Safari preview. Add a regression test that drags the same image block, drops it, and drags it again. Fix the drag or drop state if that test fails.

A rabbit watched the preview glide,
With cloned blocks tucked safely inside.
The table lines stayed clear,
Its width matched the block near,
Then the rabbit hopped off with pride.

Remove the injected CSS on every exit path.
If renderEditors or startBlockDrag fails, execution never reaches the try block and appCSS remains in the document. If dropDraggedBlock fails, the finally block also skips appCSS.remove(). The leaked rule can change later tests. Put setup inside the cleanup scope and remove the style in a nested finally.

Don't have any issues with the code, but 2 concerns with this approach:
- The preview shows the entire block, background included. This looks pretty weird, especially for blocks like the table where there's a lot of useless space on the right and bottom sides. I think we need to remove the background, that should be enough to make it visually look correct.
- We had the approach of putting the drag preview element outside the viewport before, but changed it to
opacity: 0.001because it was causing issues in a few edge cases. Would be good to get additional context on why we originally left this approach and if going back to it breaks the same edge cases.
I'm not sure what's better, but sure, we can remove the bg.
Yep, I looked back at history and this was the previous solution: #976. So we never had it off-screen like this, instead we used |

I was so used to this not working that I forgot that drag previews could work for this. It works for me on firefox
Yeah I too remember it being DO specific but don't recall issues besides that. I think we can keep this approach unless someone reports issues with it, was just curious about it. |

Closes #2609 (BLO-1120). Related to #1685.
Problem
Cause
opacity: 0.001(fix: Drag preview visibility #976). Chrome does not keep this opacity in its snapshot of the preview, but Firefox and Safari keep it. Thus their preview is invisible.document.body, outside the editor. It did not have the width of the editor, the editor classes (bn-editor,ProseMirror), or the theme of the editor container. Thus the editor CSS did not apply to it.Changes
setDragImageindragging.ts:.bn-root) without its children. Thus it has the same classes, color scheme and theme variables.top: -10000px) instead of almost transparent..bn-editor { height: 500px }) does not apply to it. The height of the preview is limited to75vh, so a tall preview does not go into the page from above.dragstart, so an earlier removal shows no preview in these browsers.editor.css: the.bn-drag-previewrule is removed, because the layout is now inline.How to test
.bn-editor { height: 500px }), drag a short block. The preview has the height of the block, not 500 px.New browser test: "draws the drag preview like the editor". It checks the width of the dragged block, the table grid, the color scheme, and that app CSS on
.bn-editordoes not change the height. The test fails onmain.The toggle drop test now waits for the highlight before it releases the mouse. Before, it sometimes released too early when the test machine was busy.
Notes
SideMenuPlugin#1685 is fixed only in part. The theme variables of the editor container now apply. CSS variables that the app sets on other ancestors of the editor do not apply, because the preview is indocument.body.Summary by CodeRabbit
