Description

I have simply started a new input dialog with a very basic snipper, and run_async().
This is the result I get: it sets the input bar too left, so characters goes into the dialog border.
The picture clearly show this.

Python 3.9.6 - prompt-toolkit 3.0.20

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported input dialog with Python 3.9.6, prompt-toolkit 3.0.20, and run_async(). Investigate the input bar's column alignment and verify that typed characters no longer enter the dialog border; the issue does not mention a file or test to begin with.
