When we output something ourselves before the event hook is called in readline, we have to signal readline that we have started a new row, so that readline can properly update the prompt. I hope this finally solves the flickering issue on my laptop and/or the problematic display in the fadctrl.

4@brief Helper to redirect readline's in- and output to an ncurses window
5
6The idea of this class is to allow the use of the readline functionality
7within a ncurses window. Therefore, several callback and hook function
8of the readline libarary are redirected, which allow to redirect the
9window's input stream to readline and the readline output to the
10window.
11
12After instantisation a pointer to a ncurses WINDOW must be given to the
13object to 'bind' readline to this window.
14
15In addition the color of the readline prompt can be set using the
16SetPromptColor() member function. Note that the given color must
17be the index of a COLOR_PAIR. For details on this see the ncurses
18documentation
19
20If ncurses will use more than one window on the screen it might
21be necessary to redraw the screen before the cursor is displayed.
22Therefore, the Refresh() function must be overwritten. It is called
23before the cursor is put to its final location in the readline line
24and after all update to the screen was performed.
25
26Refresh() can be used to force a redisplay of the current input line
27from a derived class. This might be necessary after changes top the
28screen or window size.
