No, even after un/reinstalling, I still see * When emacs starts up, the display is usually shifted either down a line or to the right a column from where it should be, with extraneous characters showing in either the minibuffer, or the top of the display (first line under windows titlebar) or both. * After startup, the minibuffer's contents, and sometimes that of the window, shifts to the right. I can "move it back" via the horizontal scrollbar, but then I lose the first column of the minibuffer prompt (or of the contents of the window). * After startup, if I change buffers, "garbage" characters from the previous buffer (i.e. normal 7-bit ASCII chars, just ones that don't belong in the current buffer) are often visible in the new one. > note that C-h does work if you launch emacs from an xterm Well, it took me awhile to figure out how to do this (nothing in the FAQ or User's Guide :-<), but now I've documented it at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CygwinizedEmacsHOWTO -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
