Diagnostics can overlay warnings addressed by cursor

[Rudxain]

Summary

(inline?) diagnostics can block the view of arbitrary text, including the source of the warn/error itself. This makes it hard for users to fix it.

Workarounds:

• Use low zoom level (small font): Not always possible, since the source of the warn/err can be at the top of the file.
• Move the view-port, and/or add lines before the source of error: requires reverting the change manually after fixing the warn/err

Reproduction Steps

The following example screenshots are contrived, but the general problem happens frequently for me (high zoom):

Helix log

~/.cache/helix/helix.log

please provide a copy of `~/.cache/helix/helix.log` here if possible, you may need to redact some of the lines

Platform

Linux

Terminal Emulator

GNOME Terminal 3.54.2 using VTE 0.78.2 +BIDI +GNUTLS +ICU +SYSTEMD for GNOME 47

Installation Method

AppImage from releases page

Helix Version

helix 24.7 (079f544)

I don't think those are inline diagnostics - #6417 was merged right after the 24.07 release so if you're using the latest stable it shouldn't be possible to use them. (The screenshot looks like non-inline-diagnostics: the text is right-aligned.)

So this may be a duplicate of #1462
