Description

Motivation

Occasionally, the screen on a YaST Qt window does not refresh properly (bsc#1204176). This leads to failures like this one where content from the previous screen is still visible in the new screen, and this one where the content does not fully load.
A workaround is to hit shift-F3 twice to bring up the style sheet selection and close it again. This forces a refresh on the YaST screen, as seen here.
We should apply this workaround to all affected areas.

Scope

The workaround should be applied for 15-SP5, all archs.
Concerning which areas of the code would be affected, check the Suggestion section.
Workaround should be applied where is not working now, not everywhere.

Acceptance criteria

AC1: Add a workaround (hitting shift-f3 to open and close the style menu) to force a refresh on the YaST Qt window.
AC2: Make sure to record a soft failure, above the workaround, mentioning the new bug bsc#1204176 as the reason for the workaround.

Suggestion

We used to apply a similar workaround where we would send alt-F10 multiple times (actually, an even number of times), which would maximize and unmaximize the window, forcing a screen refresh.
The workaround was removed with this PR when a fix was added to the new 15-SP5 builds.
However this fix seems to not fully remove the refresh issue.
The suggestion here is to check this PR to view in which areas of the code to introduce the shift-F3 workaround.
So for instance we could re-introduce at the same areas a send_key_until_needlematch but this time with shift-F3.

Problems on Build 29.1

Pressing Shift-F3 brings up the style select popup, but pressing Shift-F3 again doesn't close it at all.
So send_key_until_needlematch doesn't work.

Now causing different issue: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10226822#step/iscsi_client/71: the key "ret" is not received by SUT... maybe send_key_until_needlematch could work ?
Reopening.

send_key_until_needlematch would probably work, but could get messy because the style window is not intended.
Just waiting for yast window to render works well.
