Issue
There is a weird issue with background color of the text "spilling" and filling text, that it sould not. Specifically, this happens when using pm2.
The issue reproduces itself from time to time after these actions:
- open wsl bash in hyper
- run
pm2 list
What happens next, can be seen on the screenshot:

And, as seen on screenshot, normal colors can be restored after some other command also outpurs colored/filled text.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Hyper 3.0.2 by opening WSL bash and running pm2 list, then compare the terminal's text background rendering before and after another colored command. Trace the terminal rendering path responsible for filled text and colors; done means the background no longer spills and normal colors remain correct.
