Cell editor fixes and improvements

Valid JSON is detected as a new first-class data type. See issue #1173.

Text data length is always calculated in characters and not in bytes (UTF-8
gives different results).

Text in read-only mode is also selectable by keyboard and the caret is
visible. See issue #1123
