Expected behavior

When adjusting the size of the window, only the original content should be retained.

Research direction

Reproduce the resize behavior in Reedline with Nushell on Windows 11, then trace the terminal resize and drawing-rendering entry points. Done means resizing the window no longer produces repetitive drawing residue and the original content remains intact.
