Three editable NodeViews rendered a contentEditable=false "chrome" element IN
FLOW BEFORE NodeViewContent. On macOS the browser's click hit-testing
(posAtCoords → caretRangeFromPoint) then misses the contentDOM and snaps the
caret to the previous node — the caret/selection lands a line (code block) or
several lines (footnotes, into the body) above where the user clicked.
Fix (the transclusion pattern / issue #146 plan): make the editable
NodeViewContent the FIRST child in the DOM and move the non-editable chrome
AFTER it, restoring its visual position with CSS:
- code-block-view: <pre><NodeViewContent/></pre> first; the language/copy menu
follows and is lifted above via flex `order` (.codeBlock is now a flex column).
- footnotes-list-view: NodeViewContent first; the "Footnotes" heading follows and
is lifted above via flex `order` (.list is a flex column; the separator border
stays on the container).
- footnote-definition-view: NodeViewContent first; the "N." marker follows with
`order:-1` to stay on the left; the ↩ back-link stays on the right.
Layout is visually unchanged. Verified in a real browser (Chromium): the
contentDOM is now the first child of every editable NodeView wrapper (no
contentEditable=false element precedes it), and the menu/heading/marker still
render in their original positions.
NOTE: the caret-offset itself is macOS-specific text hit-testing and does not
reproduce in headless Chromium/WebKit on Linux (verified extensively), so the
visible fix is best confirmed on macOS.
