The issue with the cursor shortly appearing has been rereported as bug #49750.  The flickering help lines have been fixed.

No, it wasn't c9680b8, but commit 656563b that fixed the flicker.  What is the matter with me these days?  Hrm.  Too many things at once.

The help-lines flicker is fixed in git, commit c9680b8.  But now for every press of Y, the cursor shortly appears on the statusbar.  Strange!  And distracting.  Needs to be fixed too.

No.  In fact the offending commit is 9106cc8, the change to src/prompt.c.  There should be no need to restore the bottombars of the previous menu -- when it was the Write-Out menu, for example, then after the Yes or No, nano will return either to that menu (which do_prompt() will repaint), or to the main loop (which will repaint the main menu), or it will exit.  In all cases redrawing the Write-Out menu in do_yesno_prompt() is superfluous.

Now I just have to check if the above is valid for all calls of do_yesno.  text.c - okay.  search.c - okay.  nano.c - okay.  files.c ... ... - okay.  Good to go.

To reproduce, run 'src/nano NEWS' and type: M-R M-C Sav <Enter> Bah <Enter>.  Then type Y several times -- whenever the screen is refreshed for an offscreen match, the help lines shortly revert to those for the Replace-with question.  This is distracting.
