Same idea here, but also using CSI sequence



Code:
      r   DECSTBM   Set scrolling region; parameters are top and bottom row.



to reduce that region to last line. Not yet the ultimate answer, but worth a try, mayhap.



Code:
function askYesOrNo     { read -sdR -p $'\e[6n' TMP
                          TMP="${TMP#??}"
                          [ "${TMP%;*}" -eq "$LINES" ] && printf "\e7\e[$LINES;120r\e8"
                          while true 
                            do  read -p$'\e[1;31;47m'"$1 [Y|n]"$'\e[0m \e[s' answer
                                answer=${answer:-Y}
                                answer=${answer^^}
                                [ "${answer//[YN]}" = "${answer}" ] || break 
                            done
                          printf "\e7\e[1;${LINES}r\e8"
                          [ "$answer" = "Y" ] && return 0
                          return 1
                        }
