Readonly tooltip ("Cannot edit in read-only editor") doesn't show up

See original GitHub issue

monaco-editor version: 0.20.0 Browser: Chrome OS: macOS Mojave 10.15.6 Playground code that reproduces the issue:

var editor = monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById("container"), {
	readOnly: true,
});

I wanted to edit the tooltip message (#1742) but it doesn’t longer show up at all and I can’t find any mention in change log about it (works in VSCode)

It looks like that is caused by this – https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/265fb8d44e08006db32583781caf3b0367a364d2/src/vs/editor/browser/controller/textAreaHandler.ts#L132-L134

How do we get around this? It’s quite confusing now for a user to know that the editor is in read-only mode. No message, no “disabled look”. It just doesn’t work.
