This reverts commit f576ec7a15 (#44995).
The optimization introduced a regression that causes the main thread to
hang for **100+ seconds** in certain scenarios, requiring a force quit
to recover.
## Analysis from spindump
When a large `AutoHeight` editor is displayed inside a `List` (e.g.,
Agent Panel thread view), the clipping calculation can produce invalid
row ranges:
1. `visible_bounds` from `window.content_mask().bounds` represents the
window's content mask, not the intersection with the editor
2. When the editor is partially scrolled out of view,
`clipped_top_in_lines` becomes extremely large
3. This causes `start_row` to be computed as an astronomically high
value
4. `blocks_in_range(start_row..end_row)` then spends excessive time in
`Cursor::search_forward` iterating through the block tree
The spindump showed **~46% of samples** (459/1001 over 10+ seconds)
stuck in `BlockSnapshot::blocks_in_range()`, specifically in cursor
iteration.
### Heaviest stack trace
```
EditorElement::prepaint
└─ blocks_in_range + 236
└─ Cursor::search_forward (459 samples)
```
## Symptoms
- Main thread unresponsive for 33-113 seconds before sampling even began
- UI completely frozen
- High CPU usage on main thread (10+ seconds of CPU time in the sample)
- Force quit required to recover
## Path forward
The original optimization goal (reducing line layout work for clipped
editors) is valid, but the implementation needs to:
1. Correctly calculate the **intersection** of editor bounds with the
visible viewport
2. Ensure row calculations stay within valid ranges (clamped to
`max_row`)
3. Handle edge cases where the editor is completely outside the visible
bounds
Release Notes:
- Fixed a hang that could occur when viewing large diffs in the Agent
Panel
