Description

A refresh never actually refreshes the entire screen. This seems to be caused by the size of the stdout buffer for large screen updates. I'm not sure if Linux handles this fine, but OS X definitely has some problems. Probably need to experiment with the buffer settings.

Research direction

Reproduce the incomplete refresh on OS X with a large screen update, then compare the behavior on Linux. Trace the refresh path and stdout buffering described in the issue; done means a refresh updates the entire screen reliably on OS X.
