If the purpose of the clear is to reset the background color on wrapped lines, this will not have any effect, since you clear before the new line is wrapped in. (This is a bit of an obscure edge case, if you set the background color, and wrap the line, the entire new line will be scrolled in with the active background color, then you write perhaps 10 more characters and send the sequence to reset the background color, but the entire rest of the line is still brown, or whatever it was set to when you wrapped).

Example command to reproduce locally, % echo -e '\e[43maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\e[0mhihi' (Add more aaaaaaa if necessary so that the line breaks before they end).
