What do you mean by "flush the content"? If this is what causes the
flickering, then please explain where does the code perform the
"flush".
More generally, we need to understand why insertion cause flickering
whereas writing to the terminal does not.
I agree.
Let's ignore what I said about flushing. My assumption was that we draw the terminal content in multiple steps in different places. For example, we remove some lines, then do some logic, then we draw chars on top of it. So, if we have a lag between the operations and the terminal refreshes the screen we see only part of the content. But, as I said. Let's ignore that and if you have any guidance on how I can debug it further, it would be awesome.
Flickering is consistent for some specific area. If I scroll between 2 lines, back-and-forth Emacs flickers consistently.
What would be my next steps to give more debug information?
