Research direction
Reproduce the issue by setting Windows 11 display scaling to 116% and opening Windows Terminal, then compare the tab underline and maximize button with the attached screenshots. No source files or tests are identified in the report, so first locate the rendering path for these window elements. Done means the artifacts no longer appear at nonstandard scaling.
