Research direction
Start by reproducing the intermittent failure in a VSCode terminal using the listed alt-tab and terminal-selection steps. Trace the stack from CalculateWhereAndWhat through ReallyRender and ForceRender, focusing on the cursor top value versus the console buffer size. Done means the repro no longer raises the ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
