Closing a Ghostty tab retiles all the windows #1875

Description

@dgunay

Describe the bug

When I have a Ghostty window open with multiple tabs, if I close one of the tabs by exiting the terminal, Amethyst retiles all my windows. I do this a lot so this is very disruptive.

Applications:

Ghostty

To Reproduce

  1. Open Ghostty
  2. Open a new tab in Ghostty
  3. Close the tab (using Ctrl+D or exit, not Ctrl+W)

Expected behavior

The tab closes and all the windows stay in the same place.
