Any progress on this?
I was thinking about this and was able to come up with a quick hack, the problem is compatibility though.

def clear(self):
        num_lines = ceil((num_chars_in_frame + len_text + 1 ) / terminal_num_columns)
        self._stream.write('\r')
        self._stream.write((self.CLEAR_LINE + '\033[A') * (num_lines - 1) + self.CLEAR_LINE)
        return self

@shardulm94 One solution I was thinking was to do handle it with ellipsis. I'm not sure about your solution and would need to try it before moving ahead. Please share if you get a chance to try it out. Also, feel free to raise a PR for the same. 😄
