Resizing window text affected by font size

[mfontanini]

Describe the bug
Trying the code in #8226 if I print size in the middle of the screen using s=3 and then resize the window, the text that shows up when you resize kitty that says "N x M cells" is affected by this font size, presumably because it shows up in the middle of the window. This is not a huge issue but it looks very odd; presumably if you use sub 1 cell text it would show up tiny although I haven't tested this.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go the middle (vertically and horizontally) of the screen; otherwise simply print a bunch of text such that the center contains non font size 1 text.
2. Print text with large font size.
3. Resize window
4. See the label as you resize being larger than it should.

Screenshots

Note the text being large. Also note the characters don't really seem properly aligned, it's like they're aligned to top?

Additional context
kitty --config NONE reproduces too.

Hmm, doesn't repro for me, the position of the text is irrelevant as the
resizing cells message is rendered completely separately and overlaid. I
think this is related to your other issue where somehow the scaled font
size is getting "stuck". I believe once that is fixed this will be fixed
as well. Closing for now, will revisit if the fix for the other issue
doesn't fix this one as well.

[kovidgoyal]

Have pushed a fix for #8286 am pretty sure it fixes this as well, but do please let me know if I am wrong.
