Editor in dialog overlapping another breaks SideMenu and drag-and-drop #2559

What’s broken?

We have a setup with an editor and a button next to it that opens another editor instance in a dialog above it. In areas where the two editors directly overlap, the SideMenu does not appear in the topmost editor. Drag and drop is also not possible in these overlapping areas.

The root cause is likely in findClosestEditorElement (in SideMenu.ts) because it does not consider the z-axis stacking order when determining the editor element.

What did you expect to happen?

Option 1
Ensure Sidebar and drag-and-drop interactions only consider the topmost editor.

Option 2
Add an option to exclude specific editors (for example editors behind a dialog) from the hover and drag detection logic.

Steps to reproduce
