RichTextBox: Clicking floating image when the caret position is not in the viewport, starts image dragging instead of just selecting the image

Clicking on floating Image when the caret position is not in the viewport, changes the viewport and starts image dragging. Instead, the image should just be selected.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with empty document
2. Insert image, make it floating (right-click on it, select Text Wrapping -> In Front Of Text)
3. Drag the image near the bottom of the document.
4. Scroll and, if needed, zoom to such a factor, so that the first paragraph is outside of the view port.
5. Select the image (keep in mind that the image shouldn't be selected - the position should be at some of the previous paragraphs)
Observe: The image dragging adorner is visible and the viewport is changed.
Expected: The behavior shall be the same as MS Word - the viewport shouldn't be changed, and the image should just be selected

This behavior was originally reported over 11 years ago and has not received significant demand or follow-up from the community since then. This is why we plan to prioritize more impactful and widely requested improvements.

If this limitation is still affecting your scenario, please share additional context or use cases. This will help us better assess the severity and reconsider prioritization in the future. Thank you!
