Description

In the gesture code for handling a field click, we bring the block to the front. But for icon clicks, we don't bring the block to the front. This is unexpected.

We can fix this behavior by calling this.bringBlockToFront() in the doIconClick method. Due to #7587 this should be called before we call startIcon.onClick().

After making this change, you can run the reproduction steps again and ensure the block is brought to the front.

Reproduction steps

1. Add a block with an icon to the workspace (such as the mutator gear icon).
2. Add another block on top of that one.
3. Click the icon.
4. Notice how the block does not come to the front.

I'd like to work on this issue.

I've forked the project and made the required changes, but I'm not sure how I can run blocky with my changes to see if they fix this issue. Do I need to run the deployDemo task and link my google cloud account or is there another way ?

Hello! You can run npm run start from the root of your fork. This will bring up a local version of the playground where you can test your changes! Thank you for your work on this :D
