Redraw passed `bounds` bigger than its client area

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug I’ve encountered this bug in developing #2258

After resizing a View in LayoutSubviews to be smaller then the subsequent redraw that is triggered is passing a larger Rect into Redraw than the bounds.

I think this issue is to do with view.NeedDisplay.Width being stale and the parent View passing the larger width/height of the two:

https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui/blob/3d75be4ea60aa670544e39394b44adf6733a39df/Terminal.Gui/Core/View.cs#L1543-L1544

Surely a View should never be asked to redraw a bigger area than it currently occupies?

Or is this to do with menus/spill overs etc where a view deliberately paints outside the box? If so then I think quite a few of my views will need to be adjusted to only listen to Bounds and not the passed parameter bounds.

No worries, I think its just a nuance of the way I am doing resizing as part of layout. I will close this as its been this way for over a year and hasn’t caused any problems in other use cases.

I can work around it I think.

In my opinion this change must be reverted and if you want you can reopen this issue.

Ok reopening, sounds like theres things that could be addressed 😃 .
