Description
Hey all,
When using run_in_terminal, the output will block forever after printing 65536 lines.
This is using the latest prompt_toolkit version (2.0.8), and python 3.
To reproduce simply run the this_blocks_after_65k_lines method:
def this_blocks_after_65k_lines():
i = 0
while True:
run_in_terminal(lambda: print_formatted_text(FormattedText([('', f'{i}')])))
i = i + 1
def this_does_not_block():
i = 0
while True:
print_formatted_text(FormattedText([('', f'{i}')]))
i = i + 1
The output will keep scrolling numbers until 65536, then it stops.

Research direction
Start by running the reported this_blocks_after_65k_lines reproduction with Python 3 and prompt_toolkit 2.0.8, comparing it with this_does_not_block. Trace the run_in_terminal path and determine why output stops at 65536 lines; done means the reproducer continues printing beyond that point without blocking.
