Solution: Do not insert or delete screen lines when redrawing for a callback and there is a modeless selection.

func! s:Testje()
  return "foo"
endfunc
let Bar = function('s:Testje')
$put ='s:Testje exists: ' . exists('s:Testje')
$put ='func s:Testje exists: ' . exists('*s:Testje')
$put ='Bar exists: ' . exists('Bar')
$put ='func Bar exists: ' . exists('*Bar')
