Turning off show-completer fixed the problem with lines being eaten,
and doing a zle -R help clean up the prompt.  I also turned off
predict messages to be on the safe side.

_vi-tab() {
  zstyle ':predict' verbose false
  local OLDLINES=$LINES
  LINES=15
  zle complete-word
  zle -R
  local LINES=$OLDLINES
}
