Yes, I see that, thanks.  I will think if something can be done in
that case.

I'm not sure I understand the question.  Redisplay cycles happen in
Emacs all the time when Emacs is idle, but usually they quickly
determine that nothing has to be done, so you don't see them
happening.  In this case, Emacs sees that point is not inside the
window, so it attempts to correct that.
