e83845285fixed an issue where long (true color) escape sequences got interrupted by the cursor visibility toggling caused by buffer flushes.cdfaecb25introduces a new issue which causes similar problems: While the old buffer flushing code appended the cursor visibility escapes to the buffer before/after flushing, the new code effectively prepends the sequences. Assume the following sequence of events occurs: - A long escape code is issued using unibi_out when the buffer is almost full - out() gets called for a prefix of that escape code, causing the buffer to fill up - flush_buf(ui, false) is called and (correctly) does not insert any cursor toggling escapes - The rest of the escape code is written into the now empty buffer - At some later point, some other part of nvim calls flush_buf(ui, true), which then toggles the cursor, corrupting the escape code This could possibly also be fixed by tracking the state of the buffer (i.e. does it contain a partially output escape code?), but this seems fragile in the same waye83845285turned out to be. The root cause for all these problems is the mismatch between nvim's (implicit) assumption that the buffer is flushable at any point in time and the non-atomicity of unibilium's character based callback interface. The proper fix (without modifying unibilium) is to ensure nvim's assumption about the buffer state holds at all times. To that end, add a "cork" flag which ensures one unibi_out-call never splits its output across a buffer flush; if an escape code does not fit into the current buffer, flush it without any part of the escape code in it and insert the whole escape code in the emptied buffer. This is a little more complex because it modifies the buffer in place rather than printing into another buffer, checking the remaining space in the terminal buffer and then memcpy'ing it.
