CEOO: CellEditOnOverlay

See comments in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166525 to learn more about CEOO.

The 'fat' outer brackets are a paint effect somehow - seems to be a place where additionally to the overlay the formula gets still painted somewhere 'directly' -> you can see that when in that mode and moving the cursor in the cell -> CEOO gets painted with correct brackets then.
Comment 4 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2025-05-28 13:35:49 UTC 
Showing correspondent brackets is wanted. No idea why always the outer ones weere shown, but with https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166525#c12 I can no longer reproduce.
Also checked for remaining calls to direct paint (EditView::Paint in editeng/source/editeng/editview.cxx), but found none. Only remaining is from the WeldEditView::DoPaint, that is the control at the top.

Cannot repro with fix of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166525 - can someone check?
