Description

I am not sure if this will be considered a weird edge case, but I can reproducibly force close Termux when executing htop in one of at least two tmux panes.

tmux version is 2.6 htop version is 2.0.2 termux version is 0.60 from Google Play Store

I'd be happy in hunting down debug logs, if someone knows how to get them on a Chromebook.

Research direction
Investigate the Termux app's handling of external displays on Android, particularly on Chromebooks. Look at the Android compatibility library for display changes. Check if there are any known issues with tmux and htop in multi pane setups. Review the app's source code for display related crashes (e.g., in Activity or terminal handling).
