Research direction

Reproduce the issue with :LeanTermGoal twice, then open and enter a nested popup, and read the linked Neovim 0.6 change. Trace the popup and floating-window handling in lean.nvim; done means the original floating window remains visible and the nested popup stays correctly positioned.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug
  1. Call :LeanTermGoal twice, this opens a floating window and moves the cursor into it.
  2. Open a nested popup and move the cursor into the nested popup. (requires Lean 4)
  3. The floating window disappears and the nested popup moves to the top-left corner.

This is probably due to this change in neovim 0.6: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16557 I'm not sure what the best solution is, but we might need to roll our own floating windows.
