Describe the bug

I use the prompt starting at the top of the screen so my expectation on clearing screen should be that the prompt should end up at the top. Generally works but found this issue when I am using psql console.

When I open a psql console and then use clear(ctrl + L), half the screen is not utilised and is just blank. The psql prompt starts from half the screen. I have to force the console to print somethign that occupies the entire screen which then fixes it.

To reproduce

1. Open psql console.
2. Use ctrl+L or the shortcut to clear screen.
3. The prompt ends up a tthe bottom of the screen somewhere.
4. Further clearing of screen still ends up with the prompt at the bottom.

To fix:

1. I use \dt to print something that occupies the entire screen.
2. Clearing now fixes it and the prompt is now at the top as expected.

Expected behavior

My expectation is that on clearing screen, the prompt should end up at the top. Does not work for psql prompts alone.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Hi @jpninanjohn This may be because Warp features like blocks arent supported in REPLS like psql.
