bug: conceal/render without actually entering a buffer

Describe the bug

If a buffer is loaded but the cursor is not inside the window the rendering doesn't actually happen. For instance in the GIF below I switch between different ChatGPT sessions and unless I actually get into the output window/buffer there is no rendering.

Similary I was wondering whether it was possible to have rendering in telescope preview buffer.

Expected behavior

Have rendering when the buffer/window is shown. Dunnno if this is problem with ChatGPT and telecope plugins per se.

Are you able to re-create this using some standard commands to reproduce it? I don't exactly want to figure something out specific to a plugin. But if it only occurs in the ChatGPT preview window I can take a look at some point.

Similary I was wondering whether it was possible to have rendering in telescope preview buffer.

Telescope buffers are a special case that there is no way to get working. Some more details on that here: https://github.com/MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim/blob/main/doc/limitations.md#does-not-run-in-telescope-preview

To fix the ChatGPT issue I needed to make a change on my side which was merged here: 5137b5e.

However there is another change needed from the ChatGPT plugin, just some way for me to know that the preview buffer contents have been changed so I opened a PR for that here: jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim#474.

This so good. Thanks :)

Closing, any followup will be in the ChatGPT.nvim PR.
