Description
If I start a simple dialog, and I have a bottom toolbar active, I get these strange artifacts the picture shows.
If I disable the bottom toolbar the dialog will appear normally.
Python 3.9.6 - prompt_toolkit version 3.0.20

Research direction
Start by reproducing the simple dialog with the bottom toolbar enabled using Python 3.9.6 and prompt_toolkit 3.0.20, then compare it with the toolbar-disabled case. Trace the dialog and bottom-toolbar rendering paths and verify that the dialog displays without visual artifacts in both configurations.
