Helix not refreshing UI after insert-output

[tdaron]

Summary

I currently have this simple keymap configuration:

"backspace" = l=[":hnew", ":insert-output man 3 printf","goto_file_start"]}

when i press backspace-l it opens a new buffer, correctly insert man output, but then the goto_file_start do not move my view to top of the file. I mean, i think it does but the ui is not refreshing, because if i then type on any key, then the helix view updates and i'm taken to the top of the file.

Reproduction Steps

In this gif i'm just pressing backspace-l , then i just press "g" key to show goto menu but as you can see, i'm only getting to the top of the file when pressing g

I'm able to reproduce this. Apparently, :insert-output doesn't "normalise" the buffer after dumping the output.

It's the same for tools that dump output larger than the relevant view

@Kaporos what happens if you append :reload to the keymap?

@Kaporos what happens if you append :reload to the keymap?

I got an error "can't find file to reload from "[scratch]""

I also tried :redraw but didn't change anything

I don't get this issue on the Android build.
