linyisuandChristopher Biscardi 8e29ede557 editor: Paint block cursor text upon arrival during animation (#64521)
Follow-up to #63195.

# Objective
When `cursor_animation` is enabled, moving a block cursor (e.g. in Vim
mode) leaves the character underneath hidden until the spring animation
fully finishes, after which the letter pops in.
This happens because `CursorLayout::paint` returned early while
animating, skipping `block_text`.

## Solution
Paint `block_text` upon the animated cursor's arrival at the target
cell, rather than waiting for the entire spring settling phase to
complete:
- Check if any animated corner has reached the target bounds
(`bounds.dilate(...)`).
- If the cursor is still in mid-air, return early so we don't draw the
destination letter prematurely.
- Once it touches the target cell, fall through and paint `block_text`
over the cursor polygon.

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

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.
