Description

Platform Windows 10
Terminal software Windows Terminal 1.15.3465.0, nu 0.74

When using helix and the current line is close to the bottom of the terminal window, the line invoking helix disappears when starting to type.
I haven't tested with other tui software.

Steps to reproduce

  1. fill up the terminal window
  2. open and exit helix
  3. start typing
