In my environment, legacy cygwin mode is not 'working' with gray background and black foreground. You can confirm what happens if xterm mode is disabled by reverting cygwin to 3.0.7. If you type 'aaa' in shell prompt and hit backspace, then whole line after cursor gets black. Furthermore, if you run vim, whole screen gets into black background and gray fore- ground. Do not these happen in your environment? Oh, wait. I was setting foreground and background color in "terminal" tab in property. If I set them in "colors" tab, cmd.exe behaves differently. In this setting, your problem does not seems to occur. -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp>
