Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: macOS 10.14.3
- Hyper.app version: 3.0.0-canary.8
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/diagramatics/b9d3512eded6f9f7d6e9274e1f652dbe
- Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes
Issue
So I don't know whether to report this upstream to xterm.js since vscode's terminal behaves the same too, so I tried here first. Sorry if this is actually upstream 🙇♀️

Basically when you call tput init the cursor jumps to the start of the terminal again.
This doesn't happen on normal Terminal.app.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the behavior in vanilla Hyper.app on macOS by running tput init, then compare it with Terminal.app and inspect the terminal-emulation path, including whether the behavior belongs upstream in xterm.js. Done means tput init no longer moves the cursor to the start in Hyper.
