The handling of the console was change in a few recent patches. I hoped
the author(s) of those patches would respond.
Possibly relevant patches:
Patch 7.4.886 Windows7: Switching screen buffer causes flicker when
using system(). Should only apply to system(). Do you have an external
command in your startup?
Patch 7.4.876 Windows7: when using vim.exe with msys or msys2,
conhost.exe (console window provider on Windows7) will freeze or crash.
Similarly, should only affect executing an external program.
Patch 7.4.851 Saving and restoring the console buffer does not work
properly. This looks like the main suspect. Can you try going to patch
7.4.850 and 7.4.851, check whether the problem is caused by this patch?
