I have seen this before too, but from my experience, only the display of the text is incorrect, what ends up in the buffer accurately reflects what you pasted. It's just an artifact of the way characters are read and echoed. If you recall the text from your command history, is it correct? -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
