Terminal text is cleared after calling Out-ConsoleGridView #260

Steps to reproduce
Hello,
I am using Out-ConsoleGridView in my PowerShell script, and I noticed that whenever I call ocgv, any text that was on my terminal before this, is wiped out, similar to calling clear-host before outputting anything selected from ocgv.
Is there any way to call ocgv and preserve the text in the terminal that was there before?
Expected behavior
Write-Host "Hello World!"
echo "123" | ocgv
Hello World!
123Actual behavior
Write-Host "Hello World!"
echo "123" | ocgv
123Error details

Interestingly, if I use -UseNetDriver parameter, it works in that the text that was on the console before calling ocgv is preserved, however this switch is not mentioned in https://github.com/PowerShell/ConsoleGuiTools/blob/main/docs/Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools/Out-ConsoleGridView.md

Same, but not actually cleared, but instead filled with an empty space (I can scroll up to what's been on terminal). -UseNetDriver also resolves this issue.
