fit addon and multiple xterm instances

[ficristo]

When I call xterm.fit() when terminal is not visible in the page (display: none) it seems to me it does nothing.
Debugging a little, window.getComputedStyle(term.element.parentElement).getPropertyValue('width') return auto instead of a number.
Is there a way to make it work?
Maybe it is the expected behaviour, if so it would be nice to add some hints in the docs.

• Browser and browser version: -
• OS version: -
• xterm.js version: 2.6.0

@parisk this is probably as designed, how can you fit to an element if it's not visible? If so we should add a note to https://xtermjs.org/docs/api/addons/fit/

@Tyriar is right on this. The fit add-on depends on the element's container element and visibility, so I will add a documentation note for this.
