Console lines display issue

Hi,

Sometimes when I am working on the console, and then open a file with nano and then go back to the console, the cursor is somewhere in the lines on top of the console and you can't type in commands. I would normally expect the cursor to be in the last line where I left it previously.

I have also screencasted the behavior in a 30 sec video in case the above description is not clear: https://streamable.com/przvh

I am on Safari 11.0.2, Mac OS 10.12.6.

Do you know why that happens? Any idea on how to fix it?

hi there, the standard thing to do there would be a ctrl + L, or a "clear" command
