Description

## Description of bug / unexpected behavior
When `leave_ghost_vectors=True` and "show_basis_vectors=False", vectors added to `LinearTransformationScene` will have strange ghosts.

## Expected behavior
No ghosts.

## How to reproduce the issue

```py
class VectorArrow(LinearTransformationScene):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
LinearTransformationScene.__init__(
self,
leave_ghost_vectors=True,
show_basis_vectors=False
)

def construct(self):
self.add_vector(Arrow(ORIGIN, [1,2,0], stroke_width=2, tip_length=0.2, buff=0))
self.apply_matrix([[1,1],[0,1]])
```

Research direction

Start with the LinearTransformationScene entry point and reproduce the example using leave_ghost_vectors=True, show_basis_vectors=False, add_vector, and apply_matrix. Trace how the vector and its ghost are created during the transformation; done means the reproduction renders without unintended ghost vectors.
