In presentation mode the ProseMirror view is hidden off-screen (left: -9999px), so view.coordsAtPos() returns coordinates in the hidden editor's space. Delegate to PresentationEditor.coordsAtPos() which computes visual layout coordinates instead. This was the root cause of the slash menu being positioned off-screen when triggered via "/" in presentation mode.
getRangeRects returns empty for collapsed selections on empty lines because there is no painted inline content to measure. Fall back to #computeCaretLayoutRect which combines DOM position data with layout metrics, then convert to viewport coordinates via denormalizeClientPoint.
Two fixes for slash menu positioning: - Add fallback when coordsAtPos returns null (e.g. blank document before first layout): position the menu at the top-left of the visible editor surface instead of leaving coordinates at (0,0) which ends up off-screen after containing-block adjustment. - Set MENU_OFFSET_X to 0 so the menu aligns with the cursor position. The previous 100px offset was never noticed because the menu was invisible in presentation mode.

@asumaran thanks for the PR! It looks good. It is still in 'draft' state - is that actually the case or do you want to mark it ready for review? thank you! |

@harbournick I believe this is ready to merge. The PR is still in draft because I was planing to run a few extra manual tests later, but since it’s already approved, feel free to merge if everything looks good on your side. |

Problem
The slash menu (
/) was completely invisible in presentation mode (layout engine enabled). Pressing/would steal focus to the menu's hidden search input, blocking all typing, but the menu itself was rendered off-screen at ~left: -9900px.Root cause:
Editor.coordsAtPos()always used the ProseMirror view's coordinates, but in presentation mode the PM view is hidden off-screen (left: -9999px). The layout engine renders the visible content separately.Fixes #781
Changes
Editor.coordsAtPos: delegate toPresentationEditor.coordsAtPos()when available, which returns visual layout coordinates instead of hidden PM view coordinates.PresentationEditor.coordsAtPos: add caret geometry fallback via#computeCaretLayoutRect+denormalizeClientPointfor positions wheregetRangeRectsreturns empty (collapsed selections on empty lines).Slash menu plugin: add surface top-left fallback when
coordsAtPosreturns null (blank document before first layout). SetMENU_OFFSET_Xto 0 so the menu aligns with the cursor.Test plan
pnpm dev(layout engine ON by default)/, menu appears at top-left of editor/, menu appears at cursor positionpnpm test, all 5545 tests pass
