bug#53798: 27.1; OSX: (redisplay) does not reliably redisplay |

To reproduce this issue, please start Emacs with:
$ emacs -Q
and evaluate the following form:
(while t
(insert "\n" (make-string 50 ?a))
(redisplay)
(sit-for 0.1))
At first, this works completely as intended: We see a growing number of
lines in the buffer, and we are shown each fresh line as it appears:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
...
However, as soon as any key is pressed, the output becomes erratic in
the sense that for long stretches of time, we see no new lines at all,
and then several of them appear immediately at the same time.
The snippet uses (redisplay) after writing each line in order to show
the line as it appears. I therefore expect to continue to see, also when
a key is pressed, each line immediately after it is written in the
buffer, not batches of multiple lines to be shown after several of them
have already been written. Is there any way to obtain this behaviour?
Thank you a lot!
All the best,
Markus
