Description

Righ now, applying EditContext to a Canvas, doesn't change the context menu items to reflect that some text is selected when right clicking when in bounds of the selected text. Also, this EditContext would be good to have for selecting text in a canvas without it being a "textfield" (example: a canvas drawn SelectionContainer)

Research direction

No files or tests are named; start by tracing how EditContext is applied to a Canvas and how context-menu items are selected. Clarify the expected behavior for selections within the canvas and for canvas text that is not a text field, then identify the relevant implementation and tests before estimating the change.
