Description
this already the third TokenListControl question in a week... I hope I am not bothering you :)
I am working on a "list control" using TokenListControl:
after the selection is made the list is removed and the question and answer remains...
This all basically works. If I use multiple of these list controls and I resize the terminal window sometimes a line with an already answered question gets lost. I am certain that this issue is caused by how I use prompt-toolkit. I have other probably related issues that I have not investigated enough to describe them here. So my question is how do I control which parts (which TokenListControls) stay on the screen and which parts are cleaned up?
Do I have to call some teardown / cleanup function?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with multiple TokenListControl list controls and a terminal resize, then inspect how prompt-toolkit handles answered questions and screen cleanup. Determine whether a teardown or cleanup function controls which TokenListControls remain visible, and verify that previously answered lines are preserved after resizing.
