Description

Hi there,

Thanks for your amazing library.
I just noticed something that looks a lot like a bug

root_container = Frame(Window(height=2, width=3))
layout = Layout(root_container)

app = Application(layout=layout)
app.run()

When I run this, I get this rendered to the screen:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│   │
│   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

prompt_toolkit version: 3.0.31
python 3.10
Windows 10

Thanks!

Research direction
