Iris: Enable text copy-paste from Iris exercise chatbot window

[sebastianloose]

Checklist

General

• This is a small issue that I tested locally and was confirmed by another developer on a test server.
• Language: I followed the guidelines for inclusive, diversity-sensitive, and appreciative language.
• I chose a title conforming to the naming conventions for pull requests.

Client

• I strictly followed the client coding and design guidelines.
• Following the theming guidelines, I specified colors only in the theming variable files and checked that the changes look consistent in both the light and the dark theme.

Motivation and Context

Currently, users cannot copy text from the Iris exercise window due to a conflict with the drag functionality.

Description

The drag action interferes with text selection, preventing users from copying content. This bugfix allows users to drag the chatbot window by clicking on the header, enabling text selection and copying within the main window.

Steps for Testing

Prerequisites:

• 1 Account that has access to an exercise with iris

1. Log in to Artemis
2. Navigate to an exercise
3. Write a message to Iris
4. Copy text from the chat window
5. Try resizing the chat window and dragging it around

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new structural element in the chatbot widget's HTML, specifically a <div> with the class chat-widget-top-resize-area. This addition is complemented by a corresponding CSS class that defines its styling, allowing for a designated area for resizing the chat widget from the top. Additionally, modifications to the IrisChatbotWidgetComponent class adjust the resizing and dragging functionalities, restricting these actions to specific areas and enhancing user interaction.

Changes

File	Change Summary
src/main/webapp/app/iris/exercise-chatbot/widget/chatbot-widget.component.html	Added a new <div> element with class chat-widget-top-resize-area for future styling or interaction.
src/main/webapp/app/iris/exercise-chatbot/widget/chatbot-widget.component.scss	Introduced a new CSS class .chat-widget-top-resize-area with properties for height, width, and z-index.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

The changes are looking good! I tested it on the test server, and it works as described!

Changes look good. Will test on a test server, once a test server is free

Tested on TS3. I could indeed copy and patse text from/into the chat window. Resizing of the chat box as well as moving the chat box works as described

Tested on TS3, everything looks fine. The iris window is fully responsible at different screen sizes.
