I think I will take some flak for this ... but honestly, I've always preferred running Emacs in my terminal. Weird things like this always happen when a windowing system gets involved (and I suppose, window system support was kind of bolted on to Emacs, not designed in from version 0). I started using the terminal exclusively on Linux when gtk + emacs --daemon was known to cause frequent crashes. I carried this over to using Mac OS without really thinking about it. I currently use Mac OS for work and some days I use Emacs with a native windows and sometimes just use my terminal. (Kitty is a really nice terminal. KKP is supported in Emacs with a third-party package, and kitty can do things like display underlines, italic, bold, etc. I use Windows Terminal at home and it really sucks compared to Kitty.)

There are advantages to using a native window (display your method doc popups in formatted markdown instead of plain text), but they have never really made up for the jank, so I've never committed to it. I'm glad the author took a look, though.
