patch 9.2.0173: tests: Test_balloon_eval_term_visual is flaky

Problem: tests: Test_balloon_eval_term_visual is flaky
Solution: Use redraw and WaitForAssert() to make it more reliable

Previously, it failed about 1 out of 4 runs for me, now I got it down to
1 out of 10. It's not perfect, but better than before.

closes: #19692
