Description

Hi,

for me pixels with tao under Linux (Ubuntu) does not work. Pixels overdraws the whole window (including the title bar and frame) which causes a lot of flickering. Input events on the window also does not work.

Works great under macOS and Windows.

Research direction

Start by running the "minimal-tao" example on Ubuntu and observe the window rendering and input behavior. Trace the Linux-specific windowing path implicated by the example; done means the title bar and frame are not overdrawn or flickering and window input events work as they do on macOS and Windows.
