+**cell_geo_changes** is the number of changes to the visible area's cell
+geometry. The cell geometry changes whenever the visible area is resized

+is the number of changes to cells' pixel geometry (i.e. the height and
+width of each cell), and changes whenever the font size changes. Both can
+change at the same time if e.g. a terminal undergoes a font size change
