Resetting LINES afterwards fixes ^L and the printing of the selected
word twice, but it doesn't stop the previous line from being eaten:
_vi-tab() {
local OLDLINES=$LINES
LINES=15
zle complete-word
local LINES=$OLDLINES
}
I'm not sure why it only works by setting a local LINES at the end,
but it seems to be the only combination that works.
