TextEdit always clips content (including the focus outline, causing it to be not fully visible)

Godot version:
3564547

OS/device including version:
ArcoLinux

Issue description:
TextEdit forcibly clips all content, regardless of whether the Clip Content box is checked.

I'm quite sure TextEdit wouldn't even work properly without clipping.

Clip Content should probably default to true in TextEdit and the following line should be changed to reflect the clip content property, or just removed and let the Control node behaviour take care of it:

godot/scene/gui/text_edit.cpp

Line 725 in 72dfa67

VisualServer::get_singleton()->canvas_item_set_clip(get_canvas_item(), true);

I understand the edit wouldn't look right if you disabled the clipping, but I think the change would keep the properties consistent.

can I contribute to this project please.

I agree that it should be set to TRUE be default, but allow the user to turn off clipping. As a side not, LineEdit allows no clipping, and it looks great.

I can confirm this on commit 4.0.dev.custom_build [b5b633f]. In particular, I need this to display a focus outline that's slightly outside the TextEdit. Removing the clipping function call in the TextEdit C++ code works, but it likely has unintended side-effects 🙂

The TextEdit below doesn't have scrolling or advanced features like line numbers or gutters. This means it appears to look fine, but this likely doesn't apply to more advanced use cases.

Clipping enabled (default)

Notice the white pixels in the corners.
