[Bug 1337013] [NEW] Make block title retract/expand collapsible blocks

 

Public bug reported:

This is a feature suggestion from SWITCH in Switzerland.

1. Create a page
2. Put a collapsible block on the page
3. View the page
4. Try to click on the block title to expand/collapse the block

Desired result: It should expand/collapse the block

Actual result: It either does nothing, or if the block is an artefact
block that makes its title into a link, it takes you to the artefact
detail page.

The current behavior is rather non-intuitive. In most other websites
with collapsible sections, the section title can be clicked on to
expand/collapse the section. Currently in Mahara, only the arrow icon
does the job. And the case where it takes you to the artefact detail
page is extra bad, because the user wasn't trying or expecting to leave
the current page.
