Issue
I've set up Hyper on Windows to use the bash that comes bundled with Git for windows, however when I run the clear command, the contents of the window is not cleared, though the prompt does move back to the top of the screen, over the top of the pervious content.

Research direction
Reproduce the clear command in Hyper 1.2.1 on Windows 10 using the Git for Windows Bash shell, then review the 45-comment thread for any existing diagnosis or narrowed entry point. Done means clear removes the previous terminal contents as well as moving the prompt to the top.
