Screen Glitching and Flickering during Scrolling (Windows)

[kagesage]

What happened?

bug-report-history-1770891918303.json

• Description: When scrolling through long lists (like the /settings menu or large file listings), the terminal screen glitches, refreshes poorly, or causes overlapping UI elements.
• Root Cause Analysis: This is often caused by incorrect terminal height calculations or the UI framework (ink) struggling with rapid re-renders on Windows terminals (CMD/PowerShell).

What did you expect to happen?

• scroll without glitch and fragmented displays

• fix by gemini: a partial fix by adjusting the height and SEARCH_SECTION_HEIGHT calculations in SettingsDialog.js to account for missing UI elements in the height total.
