```
Problem:  When 'statusline' is set, the cell below a vertical separator keeps
          the highlight of the previous status line update and only catches
          up on the next key press.
Solution: Also update that cell when the status line of the current window is
          redrawn while showing the ruler.
```

fixes: #20948
