By looking at all the tput calls we emit during the problematic code,
I guess.

The flickering isn't supposed to happen.

Btw, can you figure out which screen lines flicker?  Do all of them
flicker, or just some?  And if you disable relative line-numbers
(i.e. use absolute line-numbers), do the lines still flicker? all of
them?

Did you try looking for such features on your system?
