User facing changelog

When cy.type() and cy.click() were used against an element inside contenteditable, it only worked with the root contenteditable element. With this PR, this behavior is fixed. Users can freely work with elements inside contenteditable.

Additional details

  • Why was this change necessary? => To change things inside contenteditable, it is sometimes necessary to work with elements inside it.
  • What is affected by this change? => This is a breaking change. The behaviors of type() and click() changed slightly.
  • Any implementation details to explain? => The change was a bit bigger than expected. I had to change the behavior of runAllCheck in actionability.js to ignore elements inside contenteditable.

How has the user experience changed?

<div id="a" contenteditable="true"><span id="b">abc</span>def</div>
cy.get('#a #b').type('123')
// => before: abcdef123
// => after: abc123def

@sainthkh would it be more accurate to say that "when a host contenteditable element is selected"? It feels a little bit like the comment doesn't match the condition because inner elements can still be contenteditable (.isContentEditable === true) but they won't pass this test here

I agree. It seems that When a selected element is contenteditable can better describe the code.
