As I mentioned in another thread, Cygwin's handling of console window size changes is not perfect. It is hampered by what Windows provides. I don't see any difference between Cygwin 1.5 and Cygwin 1.7 in this regard and I would not have expected any since there were no changes in that part of the code. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
