RMcGhee 404aaea39d Add behavior for multiple click and drag to markdown component (#43813)
Closes #43354

Overview:
In a diagnostic panel (and all Markdown derived panels, including
function hint popovers and the like), the expected behavior is that when
a user double clicks a word, the whole word is highlighted. If they
double click and hold, then drag, the text selection proceeds word by
word. There is similar behavior for triple click which goes line by
line, and quadruple click which selects all text.

Before this fix, the DiagnosticPopover allowed the user to click and
drag, but double click and drag reverts to selecting text character by
character. The same wrong behavior is shown for triple click (line).
Quadruple click (all text) was not previously implemented in
MarkdownElement.

Quick example of wrong behavior, showing single click and drag, double
click and drag, triple click and drag, then quadruple click (fails).

Nota bene:
I'm not a rust dev, so a lot of this relied on my C/C++ experience,
cribbing from elsewhere in the repo, and help from Claude. If that's not
ok for this project, I totally understand.

Much of this was informed by editor.rs, using a similar pattern to
SelectMode in there (see lines 450, and begin_selection and
extend_selection). It didn't seem appropriate to import SelectMode from
there (also Markdown range and Anchor range seemed different enough),
nor did it seem appropriate to move SelectMode to markdown.rs.

The tests are non-ui based, instead testing the relevant functions. Not
sure if that's what's expected.

Release Notes:

- Double- and triple-click selection now correctly expands by word and
by line within Markdown elements (diagnostics, agent panel, etc.).

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
