Bug description

Square placeholder boxes sometimes appear in regular app text inputs, for example in the GitHub issue selection flow or when renaming a workspace.

This does not look like terminal output. It looks more like missing glyph rendering (tofu), a UI font fallback problem, or unsupported / hidden Unicode characters being rendered in a font that cannot display them.

There was a related closed issue about terminal fonts (#13), but this report is about normal application UI inputs, not the embedded terminal.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the GitHub issue selection flow or rename a workspace.
  2. Type or edit the text in the input field.
  3. Observe that square placeholder glyphs can appear after the visible text.
