Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the flicker in Windows Terminal v1.19.2682.0 or later with 30-pixel padding and a grey theme, then compare it with v1.18.10301.0. Trace the content-area redraw behavior during character input; done means the content background no longer darkens or changes to match the padding background.
