The side menu now uses the element under the pointer (the event target) to
decide which block it shows for. It no longer computes coordinates at the
right edge of the editor and hit-tests them.
- Which block: the block of the target, then the deepest block at the
pointer's height. Only in the editor's padding does the side menu probe
once, next to the pointer.
- Moving towards the menu: the menu keeps its block while the pointer is
inside the area between its exit point and the menu. It follows the
pointer after a rest of 350 ms, or when the pointer turns away. This
replaces the 50 px offset for columns.
- A document change re-resolves the block under the pointer, also when the
pointer is on the menu.
- The menu hides when the pointer leaves the window, and stays while its
block is dragged.
- New editor option `sideMenu: { hoverMargin, dropMargin }`. By default the
menu shows only over the editor; drops are accepted up to 250 px outside.
- `referencePos` is the box of the hovered block.
- The extension uses the `createExtension` and store pattern. The drop
handling moved unchanged to `blockDropHandling.ts`. `SideMenuView` and
`sideMenuPluginKey` are removed.

I’m a rabbit beside the editor’s edge,
I hop where hover margins mark the ledge.
Blocks find their place as pointers roam,
Across the editors, drags travel home.
I nibble docs, then bound away.
The Side Menu is ready for play.

…overlap The drop handling selected the editor closest to a drag event. Where two editors overlap, both are at distance 0, and the editor that comes first in the document won, usually the one at the bottom. The side menu of the top editor now shows there, so a block dragged in the top editor was dropped into the bottom editor. If the target of the drag event is in an editor, that editor is now the only candidate. The distance only decides when the pointer is outside every editor.

The drop handling parsed the `blocknote/html` drag data with `innerHTML` on an element of the page. An element of the page loads resources and runs event handlers in the HTML (e.g. `onerror` on an image), also when it is not in the document. A document from `DOMParser.parseFromString` is inert. The code is the same as on `main`; it moved in the previous commit, which is why code scanning reports it now.

- After a document change while the pointer is on the menu (e.g. a click on "+"), the menu resolves its block just right of the menu, on the line of its block. Before, it resolved at the pointer, which for a block in a column is over the column to its left, so the menu moved to that column. - After a document change, the menu looks past all UI of the editor, not only the registered menu element. A custom menu that does not call `setMenuElement` now also moves to the block that takes the place of a removed block. - A block that embeds another editor gets its side menu from the gutter of the outer editor again. The probe skips the blocks of the nested editor, and the child blocks of a block do not include them. - `getBlockFromElement` returns `undefined` for a block root without an ID, instead of an exception, and does not read the block type, which the side menu does not use on main. - Tests: regression tests for the first and third point, `await cleanup()`, and the window-leave test now moves in one step, so it tests `mouseout`.

Summary
The side menu now uses the element under the pointer (the event target) to decide which block it shows for. Before, it computed coordinates near the right edge of the editor and hit-tested them, and it selected an editor by distance. These coordinates could be outside the viewport, clipped by a scrolling parent, or under another editor. That caused the bugs below.
sideMenu.hoverMarginoption makes the area wider.How the side menu finds the block
elementsFromPoint, on the line of the pointer and just inside the edge of the blocks. The probe point is next to the pointer, so it is visible when the pointer is.The 50 px offset for columns is removed. The side menu no longer has special cases for columns.
Moving towards the menu
When the pointer leaves a block towards its menu, it can cross another block, e.g. the column to the left. The menu keeps its block while the pointer is inside the area between the point where it left the block and the menu. The menu follows the pointer when:
SideMenuControllergives the menu element to the extension with the newsetMenuElementmethod.Other changes
dragendis cleaned up on the next mouse move. The drag handle is the drag source: if a document change during the drag hid the menu, React would remove the handle and itsdragendwould not fire. This is a guard: onmain, a test for it passes before and after this change. The failure occurred on the container-blocks branch (Container blocks: container flag, frames, keyboard settings, toggles #3059).referencePosis now the box of the hovered block. The React UI already anchors the menu to the element of the block.createExtensionand store pattern of the other extensions, without a ProseMirror plugin view.blockDropHandling.ts. One change: if the target of a drag event is in an editor, that editor gets the drop. Before, the editor closest to the event got it, and where editors overlap that was the editor that comes first in the document, usually the one at the bottom.New option
The side menu docs page describes the option.
