"Recently" could be something overlooked in #362's change

	improve display when scaleHeight is greater than 1:
	the text-cursor is vertically-centered on the current line, rather than
	only extending below the current line

(though I'd expect problems only _if_ you're using scaleHeight resource)

On the other hand (if it's not specific to #362), a lot of the font/display
problems aren't xterm (and if the problem doesn't show up on macOS, I wouldn't
notice it right away).
