Description

Hyper 1.4.8 Electron 1.7.8 win32 x64 6.1.7601

I've installed neovim and when I type nvim .hyper.js it looks odd. Screenshot attached. There might be other quirks like those but I haven't tried more. Also I'm not sure if it's a Hyper's issue or a Neovim one.

Research direction
The issue describes extra characters and scrolling problems when running Neovim in Hyper. Investigate Hyper's terminal emulation code, likely based on xterm.js, and check for known issues with Neovim's escape sequences. Since the issue is old and lacks details, reproduction with the specified versions (Hyper 1.4.8, Electron 1.7.8) and a recent Neovim build is needed. Look at similar reported issues in the repository for clues.
