The ZLE editor presumes that the prompt is always printed at the
bottom of any output and clears the screen so that there's nothing to
interfere with completion listings and other messages that the editor
may want to display below that prompt.

Depending on why you're attempting to save and restore the cursor,
there may be a ZLE-compatible way to accomplish what you want.
