Description

when i collapse a window the function get_item_pos or is_item_hovered doesnt update or work like it should in my sight.

seems like a bug to me.
need a workaround for my overlay im doing maybe someone knows where i can get the window_pos when the window is collapsed/not visible.

below is an example code, it shows the item state in the console.
when u collapse the window (collapsed=True) it doesnt show the updated cordinate for the window when u move it.
not collapsed works fine.

sorry for my bad english and thanks for future help

```python
import dearpygui.dearpygui as dpg
import threading
import time

def main():

dpg.create_context()

with dpg.window(label="Example Window", width=500, height=150, tag="example window", collapsed=False):
dpg.add_text("Hello, world")

dpg.create_viewport(title='Custom Title', width=600, height=200)
dpg.setup_dearpygui()
dpg.show_viewport()
dpg.start_dearpygui()
dpg.destroy_context()

def example():

time.sleep(1)
while True:
x,y=dpg.get_item_pos("example window")
width=dpg.get_item_width("example window")
height=dpg.get_item_height("example window")
print(x,y,"|",width,"|",height)
print(dpg.is_item_hovered("example window"))

if __name__=="__main__":
a= threading.Thread(target=main)
a.start()
b= threading.Thread(target=example)
b.start()
