• Adds context menu to text input fields
• Adds selectable text to context drawer, but only to file name, created/modified/accessed date. I'm sure more places could use the selectable text.
• Also pulls the latest changes in Iced and libcosmic that removes "redraw on any message", which means moving the cursor doesn't automatically call a redraw, widgets need to ask for it. I have found all places that previously was working normally because we were redrawing almost unconditionally. But it is possible that a custom widget somewhere still isn't asking for a redraw explicitly when its state changes. So, for QA I'd keep an eye on that.

Depends on:

• Selectable Text + Context Menu libcosmic#1288
• fix: request redraw for Text widget iced#378
• fix: request redraw in selectable text and context menu libcosmic#1384
• fix: request redraw when menu item hover state changes libcosmic#1388

• I have disclosed use of any AI generated code in my commit messages.
  • If you are using an LLM, and do not fully understand the changes it is making to the code base, do not create a PR.
  • In our experience, AI generated code often results in overly complex code that lacks enough context for a proper fix or feature inclusion. This results in considerably longer code reviews. Due to this, AI authored or partially authored PRs may be closed without comment.
• I understand these changes in full and will be able to respond to review comments.
• My change is accurately described in the commit message.
• My contribution is tested and working as described.
• I have read the Developer Certificate of Origin and certify my contribution under its conditions.

# Testing

This document provides a regression testing checklist for COSMIC Files. The checklist provides a starting point for Quality Assurance reviews.

• Open two scrollable tabs. Scroll one tab, then switch to the other tab; it should not have scrolled.
• Hover over the top item in the folder, then scroll down until it's out of view (while still hovered).

• Navigate to the parent folder, create another new file, then drag it into the created folder.
• Files can be renamed.
• Files can be opened with non-default apps & browsing store for new apps works.
