Issue

Apologies, but I'm going to have trouble describing this one.

Whitespace characters don't always print whitespace. Intermittently, the previous characters are printed instead, seems like it prints characters from the scroll back buffer instead of whitespace?

Reproducible with the following file:

no leading whitespace (<-- note that I didn't type "nomleading" -- i typed "no leading")
   leading whitespace (spacebar x4)
				leading whitespace (tab x4)
no leading whitespace

Opening the file in vim, the first space shows a m character:

it also happens with cat (num: 9930 is from the scroll back buffer):

Not reproduced here, but I often see -rw-r--r-- in vim where it should be whitespace.

This is what my .hyper.js looks like in vim:

Also, I'm able to reproduce the issue with webGLRenderer: false,

can you paste the output from hyper -v and from dev console (option+cmd+i)
You can also try the steps from https://github.com/vercel/hyper#contribute to see if it makes any difference if built on your system
