OK, at least it's reproducible by one more person :) > So why not run under mintty, then? Cygwin runs better under mintty in > general. For various usability reasons (tabs being the biggest I think), I'm using ConEmu (https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu) and running bash directly from it. I am not sure if it's even possible to use mintty - it just might run console -> mintty -> bash, so might present the same issue - but will take a look at that to confirm. However, assuming it is not possible to run mintty under ConEmu and short of downsizing the window, do you know of any solutions / workarounds I have with the default console that I can try? -- 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
