The editHtml permission check (CVE-2024-47090) was applied to every map modification, blocking roles like Managers from editing maps at all. Scope it to changes of HTML fields (textbox text), and keep the current value as a hidden field so objects can still be saved/moved unchanged. Fixes #452

The XSS mitigation for the WYSIWYG editor (CVE-2024-47090) added an
editHtmlpermission check at the top ofhandleAddModify(), which runs for every map object save. As a result, roles without that permission (e.g. Managers) could no longer edit maps at all — adding a host, service or icon failed with "Cannot edit HTML. Please contact your administrator".This scopes the check to submissions that actually change an HTML field (the textbox
text, field typetextarea), comparing the submitted value against the stored one. Regular map editing works again without the permission, while changing HTML content still requireseditHtml.textarea()now also keeps the current value in a hidden field so a textbox can be moved/resized and saved unchanged.Fixes #452
