[bug] Inline Text Editing Replaces Existing Text Repeatedly

Bug description
When double-clicking a text overlay to edit it, the existing text remains highlighted/selected. Typing new text replaces the selected content repeatedly, making it difficult to type more than one or two words continuously.

---

Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the editor
2. Upload any video
3. Add a text overlay
4. Double-click the text to edit it
5. Start typing continuously
6. Notice the text keeps getting overwritten

---

Expected behavior
The text overlay should enter edit mode normally, allowing users to type continuously without replacing previously typed text.

---

Actual behavior
The existing text stays highlighted while editing, causing new keystrokes to overwrite the selected text repeatedly.

Architecture notes

Reframe is a static Next.js app with output: "export". Key points:

• All video processing uses FFmpeg.wasm (client-side, no server)
• headers() in next.config.ts won't work — use vercel.json instead
• not-found.tsx requires public/404.html + vercel.json routes config

Happy contributing! ⭐ Star the repo if you find it useful!
