Description
Using the clear command doesn't clear the screen buffer.
This happens in both these situations:
- Using the clear command through linux commands added to the path with git installation.
- Connected to a linux vagrant machine through ssh
Using "cls" command (while in DOS prompt) works fine.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Hyper 1.3.3 on Windows using the clear command from Git-installed Linux tools and through SSH to a Linux Vagrant machine, then compare it with cls. Trace the terminal screen-buffer handling and verify that clear removes the visible screen and its buffer without breaking normal terminal output.
