Hi,
Some salient facts:
Vim uses ncurses6:
% cygcheck vim
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\vim.exe
D:/cygwin/bin/vim.exe
D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
D:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
D:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll
D:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-2.dll
D:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
D:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses6.dll
Less doesn't use ncurses at all (!):
% cygcheck less
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\less.exe
D:/cygwin/bin/less.exe
D:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
D:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll
D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
D:\cygwin\bin\cygpcre.dll
Ncurses6 has not been updated recently:

So, my bet is on the terminfo for cygwin as the locus of the problem,
whatever it is. Other reasonable hypotheses are that there's problem in
ncurses or in how Vim uses it.
Yeah, the terminfo change is the "problem". Updating to 5.3-1
allows me to reproduce the behavior. Reverting to 5.2-3 restores
the original behavior.
