It's a Cygwin bug. I'm fixing it now.
I'm not 100% sure that this is the right fix but the new snapshot at least works around the problem. The problem is that screen explicitly sets VERASE to 0. I believe that it does that to mean "there is really no erase character since I'm handling that". That should not cause Cygwin to send a null character. I think it should probably just send the default \177 character. So that is the change I've made. 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
