Thanks for your suggestions Bart
I tried the zle -M approach, but it seemed to result in my cursor sometimes
being at the bottom of the output, and them sometimes the vim_mode prompt
appearing, i.e. my cursor was jumping up and down.
I ended up adding a preexec which solves the problem:
# Clear vim_mode prompt before executing command, as the command output
will be
# written to same line as the vim_mode prompt on the terminal
function preexec {
echo -n "$terminfo[el]"
}

Yeah this is definitively not great, I spent some time trying to determine
how to solve the problem, but I haven't come up with anything yet. I would
love suggestions. I couldn't find any hooks to use when suggestions fire. I
am also considering diving into the zsh source and look into adding proper
support for a BOTTOM_PROMPT.
Thanks, Jesse
