Description Tech-Tac 2025-07-27 15:07:08 UTC 
SUMMARY
The minimap on the right that acts as the vertical scrollbar hides most words that would have a squiggle underneath in the editor view

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable spell checking
2. Include misspelled words in a file
3. Scroll it in and out the view

OBSERVED RESULT
The word disappears from the minimap when scrolled into view and goes back to being rendered when out.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should always render the same on minimap regardless of scroll position and squiggle presence

Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'.

ensure we only handle decorations that set foreground color

otherwise spelling underlines will remove text from the mini map
