Description
At least in iTerm2 over macOS, if I hit Command + K (which is a plain 'clear screen' signal), micro gets various visual glitches and erratic behavior.
As a workaround, after resizing the iTerm frame things get back to normal.
Does it sound familiar?
Thanks - Victor

Research direction
Start by reproducing the visual glitches after sending Command+K in iTerm2 on macOS, then trace the clear-screen handling in the terminal UI. Done means the clear-screen command no longer leaves artifacts or causes erratic behavior, without requiring a window resize.
