Observed behavior

When selecting text in the RTE that includes a formula node, the formula node does not display a selection highlight. The surrounding text shows the expected blue highlight, but the formula node appears visually unselected — even though the formula is actually included in the selection and can be copied.

Expected behavior

Formula nodes should display a selection highlight when included in a text selection, consistent with the visual behavior of the surrounding text.

User-facing consequences

Users may think they cannot copy-paste already inserted formulas, leading to frustration since formulas are difficult to write. This could cause users to unnecessarily re-type complex formulas instead of reusing them.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open an exercise node in Studio and edit a question that contains a formula.
2. Click and drag to select text that includes the formula node.
3. Observe that the surrounding text shows a blue selection highlight, but the formula node does not.
4. Note that despite the missing highlight, the formula is included in the selection and can be copied and pasted.
