Description

As the title said, I found that the completion will blink every time I type, then I found if I disable complete_in_thread, the blink disappears.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the completion blink while typing with complete_in_thread enabled, then compare the behavior with it disabled. Read the related issue #108 for prior context and use the completion-thread configuration as the entry point. Done means typing no longer causes the completion display to blink when threaded completion is enabled.
