BlockNote opens the math and diagram source popup from the selection even when the editor is not editable. Hide it unless the editor is explicitly editable, which also covers presentation mode.

Purpose

Fixes #2894

In read-only and presentation modes, clicking an inline equation or a diagram
opens the source popup even though the doc can't be edited. BlockNote opens the
popup from the selection without checking editor.isEditable, so a CSS rule
keyed on contenteditable='false' is not enough: the presentation editor has
no contenteditable attribute at all.

Proposal

  • Hide the source popup unless the editor is explicitly editable:
    .bn-editor:not([contenteditable='true']) .bn-source-block-popup { display: none; }
    in doc-editor/styles.tsx. This covers the public reader view and
    presentation mode.
  • Limitation: this only hides the popup. BlockNote's open state and the DOM
    node still exist. A guard on editor.isEditable in BlockNote would be the
    cleaner long-term fix, and I'm happy to rework this PR if maintainers
    prefer that.

Tested locally: public reader view and presentation mode show no popup for the
inline equation, block equation and diagram; edit mode still opens all three.
Lint is left to CI (local yarn picks up the Windows install under WSL). No
e2e test added since the change is CSS-only; happy to add one if wanted.

Note: the issue also mentions diagrams, but before this change only the inline equation and block equations opened the popup for me; diagrams did not. The rule targets the shared popup class, so it covers all three.

General requirements

CI requirements

  • I made sure that all existing tests are passing
  • I have signed off my commits with git commit --signoff (DCO compliance)
  • I have signed my commits with my SSH or GPG key (git commit -S)
  • My commit messages follow the required format: <gitmoji>(type) title description
  • I have added a changelog entry under ## [Unreleased] section (if noticeable change)

AI requirements

  • I used AI assistance to produce part or all of this contribution
  • I have read, reviewed, understood and can explain the code I am submitting
  • I can jump in a call or a chat to explain my work to a maintainer

AI was used to help navigate the codebase and set
up the local environment. I reviewed and tested the change myself.

BlockNote opens the math and diagram source popup from the selection even when the editor is not editable. Hide it unless the editor is explicitly editable, which also covers presentation mode.

Walkthrough

When .bn-editor does not have contenteditable="true", a CSS rule hides the source popup for math and diagram blocks. The rule changes visual display only; it does not prevent BlockNote from opening the popup. The changelog records this frontend change.

Explanation

Issue [#2894] requires presentation-mode equation clicks to keep the rendered equation unchanged and not show the LaTeX source or editing popup. The supplied change summary confirms that styles.tsx hides .bn-source-block-popup when .bn-editor lacks contenteditable='true'. This selector covers presentation mode and read-only mode. The shared popup selector also covers the reported equation and diagram cases. The issue does not require an automated test, and the author reports manual checks for presentation, reader, and edit modes.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The supplied change summary identifies two changes. styles.tsx adds the popup visibility rule, which directly implements [#2894]. CHANGELOG.md adds an Unreleased entry for the same fix. These changes support the linked issue. No unrelated change is identified. The repository diff was unavailable, so this conclusion relies on the supplied PR evidence and change summary.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)
