Interesting! That occurs here also. However, I did notice that the
cursor is not relocated to the top of the screen. It remains at the
position it was when the printf '\033[2J' command was issued. Somehow,
that does not seem correct either.

Thanks very much for your feedback. I am in the process of creating a
bug report now.
