What changes were proposed in this PR?
This PR refactors the text selection behavior by moving the non-selectable handling to the workspace component. The overall effect is similar to the current version, with a few additional workflow-related areas also becoming non-selectable. The Layers dropdown remains handled separately, since it is not part of the workspace component's :host DOM subtree.
