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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Reproduce the crash on a Chromebook with a 4K external display by opening at least two tmux panes running htop. Collect crash logs using logcat from the Android Debug Bridge. Trace the issue in the Termux app's terminal rendering and child process management code, focusing on how display configuration changes (like external monitor connection) are handled. Check for any assumptions about screen size or refresh rate that might cause a crash.
