"curses function returned NULL" in interactive #18

Description

This appears to happen when the terminal window is too small. If I start it up and leave it running, eventually when many plots are running in parallel, the dynamic window size calculation tries to create a window too big and runs into this error. Can be worked around by just resizing the terminal to very large before running, but this could cause issues for people not expecting it.
