Description

When in ssh, CMD+L or clear do not clear the contents.
Instead the cursor jumps to the top most position as expected, but all previous contents are still visible.

I mean that´s an old issue, when is this finally going to be fixed. That issue makes Hyper unusable, as for me, I use only ssh.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Hyper 1.4.8 by connecting over SSH and running CMD+L or clear; first inspect the terminal clearing behavior used by the app. Done means the cursor moves to the top and previous terminal contents are no longer visible.
