When I blit an image that touches the lowermost, rightmost cell of the visual display (perhaps the "page area"; i'm not sure), the display scrolls a line. This seems a legal interpretation of https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol.html, but makes it impossible (so far as I can tell) to draw a full-terminal (modulo any excess fringe pixels) image. It also behaves differently from writing text; I can write a regular old glyph to the bottommost, rightmost cell just fine without scrolling (I can't do so in the shell, but I can cup there and emit the character without scrolling, see below):

I understand why in the shell case, where the cursor needs move to the next line, you'd want to scroll, but clearly here no scrolling was necessary. Sorry if I don't understand the exact mechanisms/policies at work here.

I suggest/request that:

• images don't cause scrolling unless they actually exceed the bounding box,
• or if that is not possible, add an option to the graphics protocol effecting this,
• or alternatively, add a escape sequence simply disabling scrolling overall (probably not the best idea, and also possibly effected via a 0 page size? i'm unsure)

if there's already a way to do what i want, sorry to have bothered you!
