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: Ubuntu 20.0.4 LTS
- Hyper.app version: 3.1.4 same issue on earlier versions aswell.
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/pehamraza/d154eab0b702e046f0fab749726c1b0f
- Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): can't see anything now that I have opened a new window.
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: yes
Issue
When hyper is kep open for longer period of times or sometimes when I have to lock my computer and get back like after an hour and check the SSH session. It shows a blank screen or something like this https://tinyurl.com/yzd3uc3r
It happens on any number of windows or tabs of hyper openend. I can't make it work the solution always is to close all hyper windows and reopen.

Research direction
Start with the provided .hyper.js gist and reproduce the blank screen in vanilla Hyper 3.1.4 on Ubuntu after leaving windows open or locking and unlocking the computer. Use the Hyper devtools entry point to inspect the failure while checking whether existing tabs and SSH sessions remain usable; done means the terminal stays visible and usable after extended idle periods.
