Description
I finally have a repro for a glitch that I've been experiencing in Nushell for a long time. When the cursor is nearly at the bottom of the terminal, after running a command the new prompt renders on the wrong line. I think this is a Reedline issue but apologies if I've filed this in the wrong repo.
Steps to reproduce
-
Open Nushell in a very short terminal window, clear the screen, and press
enteruntil the cursor is just 1 row from the bottom:
-
Type the command to
cdto a new directory (without pressingenter)
-
Press
enterand observe that the new prompt was rendered on the wrong line (1 line too high)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the prompt-rendering glitch in a very short terminal using the listed steps, with the cursor one row from the bottom and a directory change. Trace the prompt redraw behavior and confirm that, after pressing enter, the new prompt renders on the correct line without regressing normal prompt rendering.
