Describe the bug

The prompt covers the top line(s) of interactive shell scripts when using sticky command header. This applies to both built in shell prompts and custom ones.

To reproduce

1. Enable Sticky Command Header in the general settings
2. Run a shell script that contains an interactive prompt. (this is a simple one created for this report - https://gist.github.com/mikikiv/60b8a41a01c4098c45f0f675d2b4f28d)

Actual behavior: The top lines of the application are hidden behind the shell prompt.

Expected behavior

The top lines of the application initialize below the sticky command header

It could be valuable to have a separate setting for having a sticky header when a prompt is active. Maybe change the setting from a boolean to a select with the options being ['always', 'never', 'when inactive']
where 'when inactive' would have a sticky header when there is not any active thing happening
