patch 8.0.0592: if a job writes to a buffer screen is not updated
Problem: If a job writes to a buffer and the user is typing a command, the
screen isn't updated. When a message is displayed the changed
buffer may cause it to be cleared. (Ramel Eshed)
Solution: Update the screen and then the command line if the screen didn't
scroll. Avoid inserting screen lines, as it clears any message.
Update the status line when the buffer changed.
