Furthermore, this also suggests that the 'clear' and 'tput clear' in
Stretch clear the scrollback buffer. But this isn't true either.
'clear' or 'tput clear' doesn't clear the scrollback buffer. I can
still see the screenful of scrollback. (Please see the screenshots
attached in the original post)
So 'clear' in Stretch doesn't do what it sets on to do.
I tried gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal and terminator with the same
observations as above.
