About this. For whatever reason, I often end up with foreground windows (e.g. Chrome) covering the background window entirely, except for a sliver a few pixels wide.

Would Ghostty handle this case? I don't believe there's any point in full-speed rendering if less than a single line of text is shown, but the window isn't technically obscured completely.

We rely on the OS to tell us when we're obscured, and macOS will only tell us if the window is fully obscured (1 pixel showing is not obscured).
