Image overlays in Essay Question type are not interactive

Expected behaviour

A user should be able to edit an image's alt text and optional long description in an essay question.

Current behaviour

When clicking on the alt text/long description overlay, the overlay is immediately hidden and does not allow the user to edit the values.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a new question type of Essay
  • Add an image to either the essay question, or the essay answer below
  • Click on the image. The alt text overlay should appear
  • Click on the overlay to edit the alt text. The overlay should disappear

This can be seen on the Widget Example in the wax demo site.

Environment

This occurs in all major browsers and operating systems.

Possible solution

A refactor of the EssayService, to remove the EssayQuestionContainerComponent. The goal is to make the Essay questions more in line with functionality seen in Multiple Choice questions.
