System

OS: macOS
Version: alacritty 0.13.2 (bb8ea18)

When I use startup_mode = "Fullscreen" in my toml and create a new tab or window with Command-N or Command-T, it makes the old window go black. So one space shows full black screen and the other space shows full screen with the newly-created tab/window.

Seems to only happen if there's another alacritty window already open for me.

#7965 seems to fix this as well. @steveyko if you can build and run that PR, could you confirm this?

I built and tried it but it's the same result for me. I changed the "Prefer tabs when opening documents" so now it only happens with Command-T, not Command-N.
