- The app's directory structure is not a constant, and shouldn't play into this test. Aside from codebase restructuring, directories like `__pycache__` can come and go.
- Even if a temporary directory were created with files enough to fill the view, the scrollbar would still change based on the folder structure outside of the temporary folder.
- pyfakefs is one way to ensure a consistent view of a folder structure for testing. It allows adding real folders in a readonly way. It's more complicated than I thought it would be going in, since I had to add workarounds for pyfiglet and pytest-textual-snapshot, and handle an edge case in my EnhancedDirectoryTree (which got an error which seems to be swallowed?), not to mention pyfakefs raises an error saying "No such file or directory in the fake filesystem" when actually it's the real directory not existing when trying to add it to the fake filesystem, and VS Code was hiding stack frames and refusing to step into library code, and it turned out that I was resolving the absolute path wrong, but it looked right to me because the only part that was missing was "textual-paint", when, at a glance it seemed present, since the "textual_paint" part was present. Ay-ay-ay!
- I don't know if this will fix the problem I saw where these tests' snapshots all changed with no visual or even structural changes, just the IDs of elements changing. I don't know what caused that.
Oh yeah and this is still actually a problem:

It worked when running in debug, but not when running normally.
It's hard to install on Windows, and this seems to be misleading:
ERROR: Could not build wheels for psutil, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
I'm setting up a virtual environment for the first time, and, trying
to install my dependencies, I ran into errors, 1. because of appscript
which is only intended for Mac, 2. PyGObject which IS for Linux, but
fails to install, missing "libgirepository1.0-dev", but it's optional,
it's just for wallpaper support. pyxgd is also for wallpaper support,
so maybe I should comment it out too.
And finally, [dev] is needed in order to use the `textual` command.
I don't know how well this can install on other systems, but at least
I can install it now, on Ubuntu.
Also, when the version numbers in my requirements.txt were bumped
when regenerating it, I'm guessing now that the dependencies weren't
actually upgraded, since `textual --version` gave me "0.19.1" up until
I set up my virtual environment (.venv), and now it matches the
requirements.txt version of "0.22.3". I still don't know why the version
numbers were bumped, or for sure that they weren't installed at those
versions somewhere in my filesystem. (I hope virtualenv makes things
more comprehensible, rather than more confusing...)
Also, now that I'm using textual 0.22.3, the radio button set has
arrow key navigation. Seeing this feature missing was what prompted me
to set up the virtual environment and (sort of implicitly) upgrade.
However, it doesn't work correctly, for the flipped horiz./vert. layout.
I'm new to python package management, so I don't really know when these
packages got updated, but I'm updating this file with this command:
python3 -m pipreqs.pipreqs --ignore .history --force
