Description Reviewing text editor in rubric related to this issue https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/11727 I found a new issue when you want to move a selected text into another place of the same editor.

Steps to reproduce the bug

open a text editor, can be a Playground.
write text example:Johnny la gente esta muy loca
double click on word gente to select it
you can use arrows and shift or mouse pointer to select words.
then try to drag and drop between esta and muy
you will see that the text change the selection but did not move the selected text

Expected behavior Based on text editors like html text area editor, TextEdit, vscode. when you try to drag and drop a selected text

the cursor will change its position with the current mouse position.
the cursor will be dotted, to indicate the action.
a morph with the selected text could be displayed to show to the user that the text is currently moved.
when you drop the selection the current text will be moved to that place. For the previous example new word will be Johnny la esta gentemuy loca.
Text editor will provide 2 systems to cancel the drag and drop action, users can press key ESC or drag and drop can end in the selected text area.
Also after the text edition if user press Control+Z the text will return to the previous state.

@akevalion is this the same thing as #11727 ? If yes, we should close it

No, this is different issue, but it is related

Hi we tried in this sprint to do that. It needs more work.

The idea is to put a visual cursor that shows to the user that he is moving the text in another position of the text editor.

dragStart: event

you can find our advance here: https://github.com/akevalion/pharo/tree/11744-Enhance-text-selection-drag-and-drop , but it is not the final version
