Code Editor Unavailable After Opening LaTeX Dialog

[SUN-SZY]

Description:
After opening the LaTeX input dialog, the original code editor becomes uneditable.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a note containing a formula area in Joplin.
2. Select a portion of the formula to be processed.
3. Invoke the Katex Input Helper dialog using the designated keyboard shortcut.
4. Observe that the original code editor is now unresponsive and cannot be edited.

Expected Behavior:
The user should still be able to edit content in the original code editor even after the LaTeX input dialog has been opened.

Actual Behavior:
Once the LaTeX input dialog is opened, interaction with the original code editor is blocked.

Environment:

• Joplin Version: 3.2.12
• Operating System: Windows
• Plugin Version: 1.0.7

Additional Information:
This issue may be related to how the LaTeX input dialog is implemented, possibly making it modal or overlaying in a way that locks out other interactions within Joplin.

One potential solution could be to ensure that the LaTeX input dialog is non-modal, allowing users to interact with other parts of Joplin while the dialog is open. This behavior was addressed in previous versions (e.g., 1.0.3), but it seems the issue has resurfaced.

Indeed, the plug-in is implemented as a dialog meaning it is a modal window. It was never designated to allow interactions between the dialog and the rest of Joplin during the display of the dialog.

Perhaps you can give me an impression of how you would use such a feature. Then I had to implement (change the implementation) of the whole UI to a panel. And at the moment I cannot estimate the effort and feasibility of such an undertaking.

Anyway, I will do some recherches and tests for this purpose.

The meant blocking above was completely in the UI of the dialog where a sub dialog blocked the interaction with the editor area of this LaTeX dialog.
