I do think that is the problem, indeed. But I also thought that your
proposal was to hook the width update at some place you know rl will
always return quickly, thus releasing the user from the need to
explicitly request this refresh. If that's not the case, sorry for the
confusion. Also, if that's not the case, could something similar be
achieved without very complex changes? In any other case, I return to
my initial proposal.
