switch message from text field to text view

to handle the weird 'activated' mode that was changing colour

This was making the text the wrong colour after clicking (see #103; closes #103).

I mostly only know SwiftUI, so this may be entirely the wrong path here—definitely open to review and suggestions—but this does fix the poor behaviour I experienced.

Converted to draft because it immediately changed the behaviour to this when I rolled over my own (longer) message. Fixes/feedback welcome.

Riffing on the container size got me here and it seems to be working now. (Would love confirmations.)

So to my understanding NSTextField is an optimized version of NSTextView. It has a lightweight draw-only verison, that only renders the text, but as soon as the user interacts with it (selecting or editing), it switches to an internal NSTextView for that operation.

It would be ideal to keep NSTextField if possible, because it would be significantly more performant for long timelines, but it's a bit more tricky to get right.

Yeah; fair enough. I'll poke at this some more with that in mind. I'm pretty far out of my SwiftUI lane here though (-;
