Rename UiChatView -> UiText (the retail UIElement_Text class,
RegisterElementClass(0xc) @ acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:115655).
Factory changes (DatWidgetFactory.cs):
- Remove the Type-12 skip (was: no-media -> null, with-media -> UiDatElement).
- Add Type 12 -> BuildText() -> UiText in the switch.
- BuildText extracts the element's Direct/Normal sprite as BackgroundSprite
so any dat-media the element carried keeps rendering under the text.
UiText changes (renamed from UiChatView.cs):
- BackgroundColor default: (0,0,0,0.35) -> (0,0,0,0) (transparent).
An unbound UiText draws nothing; the controller opts in to the translucent bg.
- New BackgroundSprite + SpriteResolve: optional dat state-sprite background
drawn UNDER DrawFill+text (faithful UIElement_Text media support).
ChatWindowController.cs (Task 5 Step 8):
- Transcript property: UiChatView -> UiText.
- Bind() now uses layout.FindElement(TranscriptId) as UiText (factory-built)
instead of manually constructing + AddChild-ing a new UiChatView.
- Sets BackgroundColor = (0,0,0,0.35) on the found widget (retail translucent bg).
- Removes the tInfo null-check from the early guard (transcript is factory-built;
iInfo lookup kept for the input widget which is still manually constructed).
- BuildLines: UiChatView.Line -> UiText.Line throughout.
Vitals frozen: the Type-12 vitals number elements are meter children and are
never recursed by BuildWidget (the `if (w is not UiMeter)` gate), so they are
not built as widgets and keep rendering via UiMeter.Label. Vitals fixture
vitals_2100006C.json unchanged; LayoutConformanceTests + VitalsBindingTests green.
Tests:
- UiChatViewTests.cs -> UiTextTests.cs (class: UiTextTests, all UiChatView.* -> UiText.*)
- UiChatViewDatFontTests.cs -> UiTextDatFontTests.cs (same)
- DatWidgetFactoryTests: delete Type12_StylePrototype_ReturnsNull +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12WithMedia_Renders; add Type12_Text_MakesUiText +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12_AlwaysMakesUiText.
- LayoutImporterTests: BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present updated
to assert IsType<UiText> (element is now in tree, transparent, not skipped).
Divergence register: AP-37 amended -- removed the "standalone Type-0 text
elements skipped / dat-text widget is Plan 2" clause (now shipped as UiText);
kept the meter-collapse clause and the vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause.
AP-38/AP-39/AD-28 file references updated UiChatView.cs -> UiText.cs.

Windows-like selection in the retail chat window: left-click-drag selects
characters, Ctrl-C copies, Ctrl-A selects all. The selected span paints a
translucent highlight behind the text.
- UiElement.CapturesPointerDrag: a per-element opt-out so an interior drag is
delivered to the widget (text selection) instead of moving/resizing the host
window. UiRoot.OnMouseDown honours it AFTER edge-resize (a resizable window
is still resizable from its frame) and BEFORE window-move.
- UiChatView: AcceptsFocus + IsEditControl + CapturesPointerDrag; caches the
OnDraw layout so OnEvent hit-tests the same geometry; HitChar maps a local
point to (line,col) with glyph-midpoint caret snapping; SelectedText joins a
multi-line span with \n; Ctrl-C writes to IKeyboard.ClipboardText (only when
non-empty, so an empty copy never clobbers the clipboard).
- UiHost exposes the wired IKeyboard (clipboard + Ctrl modifier state).
Adversarial-review fix (the 99 tests would have stayed green without it): a
coordinate-frame mismatch between MouseDown and MouseMove. UiRoot.OnMouseDown
dispatched HitTestTopDown's coords, which are relative to the TOP-LEVEL child,
while MouseMove/MouseUp use target.ScreenPosition. For the chat view inset at
(8,8) inside its window the anchor landed ~8px off the click. OnMouseDown now
delivers target-LOCAL coords like the other mouse events. Added a UiRoot
regression test asserting MouseDown and MouseMove share the target-local frame
for a nested child.
Decomp ref: SurfaceWindow text/selection model; clipboard via Silk.NET
IKeyboard.ClipboardText. Built with the chat-select-copy implement->review
workflow.

Add UiChatView, a transcript widget for the retail-look UI: renders the
ChatVM tail bottom-pinned (newest at the bottom, like retail) with
mouse-wheel scrollback and whole-line vertical clipping so text stays
inside the frame. Hosted in a draggable/resizable UiNineSlicePanel and
wired into the UiHost next to the vitals window, fed by a dedicated
ChatVM (200-line tail) over the same live ChatLog. Per-ChatKind colour
palette (speech white, tells magenta, channels blue, system yellow,
emotes grey, combat orange).
This is the read-only foundation. The next sub-step adds glScissor
clipping + word-wrap, drag-to-select, and Ctrl+C copy -- the last needs
a CapturesPointerDrag opt-out on UiElement so an interior drag selects
text instead of moving the window (today an interior drag still moves
the window, same as the vitals panel).
Tests: UiChatView.ClampScroll (pin-to-bottom, cap-at-overflow,
never-negative).
