Description
Lapce Version
0.2.0 Flatpak
System information
Fedora 36
Describe the bug
When Lapce is resized to be smaller, at a certain point the first line in a file becomes unselectable, and instead just greys out the active tab. This doesn't happen when the window is big enough, such as maximised or split-screen.
Additional information
A workaround seems to be to click before the 9th or 10th character. It appears as if a search panel gets triggered after that, although invisible?

On lower resolutions, the problem persists, and the workaround is the same, but the window doesn't have to get as small for the bug to occur.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Lapce 0.2.0 Flatpak on Fedora 36 by shrinking the window until the first line cannot be selected. Start by tracing the editor's input handling around the first-line click and resize behavior; done means the first line remains selectable at small window sizes without greying out the active tab or triggering an invisible search panel.
