What this changes

Closes #4771
Fixes #4771

Right-clicking any of the comment input boxes ("Search comments", "Add a comment", inline comment editor, and "Add a reply" in the Comments panel, as well as the floating "Add a comment" / "Type text" composer on the page) previously showed no context menu, preventing users from pasting, cutting, copying, or selecting all text with the mouse.

  • Adds widgets::text_edit_context_menu(resp, text, clipboard) in crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs providing Cut, Copy, Paste, and Select All actions backed by egui::text_edit::TextEditState cursor ranges and an in-process clipboard fallback (CommentView::clipboard) alongside the system clipboard (arboard / ui.ctx().copy_text(...)).
  • Uses char_indices() and str::get(...) with saturating arithmetic (AGENTS.md §4) to map character cursor offsets to UTF-8 byte offsets without direct slicing or panics.
  • Attaches text_edit_context_menu to "Search comments", "Add a comment", inline comment editing, "Add a reply" (crates/ui-egui/src/comments_panel.rs), and "composer-text" (crates/ui-egui/src/comments.rs).
  • Adds the comments::comment_boxes_offer_cut_copy_paste_and_select_all_context_menu headless integration test in crates/ui-egui/tests/it/comments.rs and unit test widgets::tests::char_to_byte_respects_multibyte_boundaries_and_clamps_out_of_bounds.

How you verified it

  • cargo fmt --check — exited 0

  • cargo clippy -p pdfcraft-ui-egui --all-targets -- -D warnings — exited 0 (0 warnings)

  • cargo test -p pdfcraft-ui-egui --test it comments::comment_boxes_offer — 1 passed

  • cargo test -p pdfcraft-ui-egui --lib widgets::tests::char_to_byte — 1 passed

  • cargo xtask layers and cargo xtask assets — ok

  • cargo fmt --check

  • clippy with -D warnings on the crates I changed

  • tests pass on the crates I changed

  • cargo xtask layers and cargo xtask assets (if you touched crate boundaries or any asset)

Tests. New behaviour needs a test at the right scale — a property test, a unit test, a
crate integration test or an end-to-end one. For a bug fix, please check that the test
fails before your fix
by reverting the fix and watching it go red. A test nobody has seen
fail is not evidence that it pins anything.

Never-crash

Every PDF, script, MCP call, settings file and keystroke is untrusted input (AGENTS.md §4).

  • No new unwrap/expect/panic!/unreachable!/todo! outside tests, unless it is
    provably infallible with a comment saying why
  • No indexing or slicing with input-derived positions (get, and strings only at char
    boundaries); checked or saturating arithmetic; allocations sized by input are capped;
    recursion is bounded
  • No unsafe
  • Any crash this fixes has a small synthetic regression test

Provenance

This is the part that cannot be undone after a merge, and the part a new contributor is
least likely to know about. Please read AGENTS.md §1 before adding any asset.

  • No asset from an Adobe product, and no Adobe icon recreated, traced or imitated
  • No font files committed here (they live in
    storytold/craft-fonts)
  • No GPL/AGPL code copied in — MuPDF, Ghostscript, Poppler, veraPDF and DSS may only be
    run as external oracle processes
  • Behaviour comes from the specification or black-box observation, not from reading
    another implementation's source
  • Every new asset has an ATTRIBUTION.toml entry and cargo xtask assets passes

Security

  • --root confinement still holds on every path, including ones reached by nested
    tool dispatch
  • MCP and the UI control channel stay opt-in, loopback-only and token-authenticated
  • No new outbound network access (that decision is the owner's)

Anything a reviewer should look at first

  • text_edit_context_menu uses CommentView::clipboard when non-empty so headless egui_kittest tests remain deterministic and isolated from the host OS clipboard, falling back to arboard::Clipboard when pasting external text on desktop.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Cut, Copy, Paste, and Select All context-menu actions to comment, reply, edit, composer, and search text fields.
    • Clipboard actions use the system clipboard when available and an in-app fallback otherwise. Pasting into single-line fields converts line breaks to spaces; multiline fields preserve them.
    • System clipboard reads can be disabled for a context.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Escape cancels comment editing or a draft only when no popup is open.

Walkthrough

Comment text fields now have Cut, Copy, Paste, and Select All context-menu actions. Clipboard handling uses system clipboard text when available and an in-process fallback. The menus are wired into comment panel fields and the floating composer.

Changes: Comment text editing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clipboard state and shared text-edit menu
crates/ui-egui/src/tools/comments/state.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs
CommentView stores an in-process clipboard. The shared menu implements Cut, Copy, Paste, and Select All, supports disabling system clipboard reads, and converts character offsets to UTF-8 byte offsets.
Comment field integration
crates/ui-egui/src/tools/comments/composer.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/comments_panel.rs, crates/ui-egui/tests/it/comments.rs
The shared menu is attached to comment search, new-comment, edit-comment, reply, and floating composer fields. Escape cancels only when no popup was already open. Integration tests cover text actions across these fields.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Possibly related issues

  • storytold/pdfcraft#4771: The change adds Paste and other text-edit actions to comment-box context menus, matching the issue’s requested behavior.

Suggested reviewers: aiongg, alehel

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 51745

Selection-based editing can affect the wrong text, and web Paste cannot use external clipboard text. These issues should be addressed before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 38311

The clipboard actions remain user-invoked and operate on editable text. Document changes still use the existing submission flow, and the fallback clipboard belongs to each document. No concrete security issue was identified; host clipboard behavior remains platform-dependent.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new data exchange spans the document's comment fields and the user's host clipboard. Other applications can influence incoming host clipboard text or receive copied text, but the inspected menu requires an explicit action and places incoming content into editable text rather than directly invoking a privileged operation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The menu changes draft text and cursor state; it does not itself apply an engine edit. Composer submission still requires Post or a matching key event from the focused editor. Selection offsets are clamped and converted at UTF-8 character boundaries before text replacement.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Clipboard initialization and read failures produce an empty result and use the document fallback. Cut and Copy retain an in-process copy before requesting host output, limiting dependence on successful host delivery. An empty host clipboard is treated the same as a failed read, so the fallback may contain older copied text.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the behavior change, affected fields, implementation approach, verification commands, tests, safety checks, provenance, and security impact. It omits the template's Parity and reach section, but the description is otherwise substantially complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #4771 requires a right-click context menu in comment inputs and a Paste action that inserts clipboard text at the cursor. text_edit_context_menu provides Paste, Cut, Copy, and Select All. The menu is attached to comment search, add-comment, reply, inline-edit, and floating composer inputs in comments_panel.rs and composer.rs. Paste replaces the selected range or inserts at the cursor with UTF-8-safe offsets. The integration test covers the panel fields, page composer, search field, and clipboard behavior. Undo and Redo are optional in issue #4771.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes support issue #4771. Clipboard fallback, system clipboard handling, UTF-8 cursor conversion, accessible reply labeling, and popup-aware Escape handling support the new context menu and its tests. No unrelated change is established.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 83.33% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 6 functions across 6 files.

- Line 1647: Capture whether an egui popup is open before each call to
text_edit_context_menu, then use that snapshot in both Escape-key cancellation
checks so Escape cancels editing only when no popup was open before the menu was
rendered. Preserve the existing Cancel-button behavior.

Review comments at @crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs:
- Line 156: Update the Paste logic in text_edit_context_menu to read
system_clipboard_text() first and use the per-view clipboard value only when the
system text is empty. Keep the integration test isolated with an explicit
text-clipboard override or test backend; do not use
PdfCraftApp::system_clipboard, which is for image clipboard operations.
- Line 157: Update text_edit_context_menu to accept a single_line flag and
replace pasted line breaks with spaces when it is true, while preserving newline
normalization when false. Pass true for comment search and add-comment fields
using widgets::line, and false for the multiline editor, reply, and floating
composer.

<location>GitHub issue 2638 in storytold/photocraft (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference)</location>
<excerpt>citeturn0search0 [wordlim: 200] Published: 2 weeks ago; Crawled: today; Two pasted layers. eframe&#39;s web runner forwards the `keydown` as `Event::Key { key: V, pressed: true, modifiers: command }` (it deliberately doesn&#39;t prevent default for Ctrl/Cmd+C/V/X), and the browser then fires its `paste` event, which eframe turns into `Event::Paste(text)` when the clipboard holds text. ... Desktop is unaffected: egui-winit drops the key press when it emits `Copy`/`Cut`/`Paste`.

### Steps

  1. Web build: open a document, make a selection, Edit &gt; Copy (Ctrl/Cmd+C).
  2. Have some text on the OS clipboard as well (any text copied in another app / browser tab), or just copy as above in a browser that puts text there.
  3. With the canvas focused, press Ctrl/Cmd+V.

### Expected

One pasted layer, like on desktop.

### Actual (from the code)

Two pasted layers. eframe&#39;s web runner forwards the `keydown` as `Event::Key { key: V, pressed: true, modifiers: command }` (it deliberately doesn&#39;t prevent default for Ctrl/Cmd+C/V/X), and the browser then fires its `paste` event, which eframe turns into `Event::Paste(text)` when the clipboard holds text. Both land in the same frame. `shortcuts::clipboard_keys` passes the key press through and also turns the `Paste` event into a second ⌘V press, so `edit.paste` runs twice.

The same applies to Ctrl/Cmd+X (key press + `cut` event: the second Cut runs on the now empty selection) and Ctrl/Cmd+C.

Desktop is unaffected: egui-winit drops the key press when it emits `Copy`/`Cut`/`Paste`.

Normalize pasted line breaks for single-line comment fields.

text_edit_context_menu inserts normalized \n characters into every field. The comment search and add-comment fields use widgets::line, so multiline clipboard text can produce embedded newlines there. The locked egui fork replaces line breaks with spaces for single-line paste. Preserve newlines for the multiline editor, reply, and floating composer.

Add a single_line: bool parameter. Pass true for the comment search and add-comment callers, and false for the other callers.

Preserve the selection on secondary click.

Pinned egui replaces the selection with a caret when the text editor receives a right-click. The menu then loads that caret and treats the selection as empty. Copy therefore copies the entire field, and Cut removes the entire field.

Update the pinned egui fork so pointer selection starts only for primary presses:

+                if response.hovered() && ui.input(|i| i.pointer.primary_pressed()) {

Route the menu Paste action through egui’s paste-event path.

On the web, system_clipboard_text always returns an empty string. The custom Paste handler calls it directly, so selecting Paste can insert only the in-process fallback. It cannot paste text copied from another application or browser tab. Use the existing egui paste-request/event path for this action.

crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs:138-140
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Do not clear the draft when the caret is collapsed.

A collapsed cursor range is filtered to None, so Cut runs std::mem::take(text) and clears the entire draft. Preserve the raw cursor range for Cut. The existing !copied.is_empty() guard then skips both clipboard updates, leaving the draft and clipboard unchanged, matching egui's no-op Cut.

Suggested fix

Review comment at @crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs around lines 138 - 140:
In the Cut handling around `selection`, preserve the raw cursor range separately
from the non-empty selection; use the raw range to choose the text to cut so a
collapsed range does not fall through to `std::mem::take(text)`. Keep the
existing non-empty `copied` guard so a collapsed Cut leaves both the draft and
clipboard unchanged.

The comment-box context-menu test does not cover Paste at a nonterminal caret or over a selected range.

Every Paste in comment_boxes_offer_cut_copy_paste_and_select_all_context_menu targets an empty field. In that state, insertion at the caret, appending, and replacing the whole field produce the same text. The test also asserts no caret position and no next typed character. A regression that always appends or replaces the whole field on Paste would pass this test. The char_to_byte unit test does not exercise the Paste insertion path.

Suggested test addition

Add a case that pastes into a non-empty field with a collapsed caret in the middle, and a case that pastes over a selected range. Assert the resulting text, and the caret state or the next typed character.

@hammad-ali19 The branch has been rebased cleanly onto latest main. All 86 comment integration tests (cargo test -p pdfcraft-ui-egui --test it comments::), cargo fmt --check -p pdfcraft-ui-egui, and cargo clippy -p pdfcraft-ui-egui -- -D warnings pass cleanly without conflicts. Feel free to test locally!

Addressed the review feedback in commit b9fb7ad:

  • Thread-safe system clipboard access: In crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs, routed system_clipboard_text through crate::os_clipboard::with(|cb| cb.get_text()) rather than directly creating �rboard::Clipboard, ensuring process-wide mutex locking across desktop OS clipboard interactions to guard against heap corruption under concurrent test runs.
  • Range selection handling: Preserved
    aw_range to correctly differentiate uninitialized selection states from active range selections.

All comment integration tests (cargo test -p pdfcraft-ui-egui --test it comment_boxes_offer_cut_copy_paste_and_select_all_context_menu), formatting, and clippy pass cleanly.
