- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla
Issue
I downloaded Hyper.app right away, changing only bash to zsh.
I was trying to browse my zsh history, and was pressing ctrl - p to see previous items I have input.
While browsing, some characters 'stick' to the terminal screen, and keeps its place even when I come back to the last history item.
Adding a gif to explain problems

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in vanilla Hyper.app on macOS with zsh, using Ctrl-P to browse command history as described in the report and GIF. Trace the terminal rendering or history-navigation behavior involved; done means previously entered characters no longer remain on screen after returning to the latest history item.
