Hi Randall,
Oh it's a problem alright. I'm just not sure the exact source and whether this functionality is in conflict with something else that 5.3-1 was trying to fix. I looked at the email archives for discussions surrounding terminfo and couldn't find anything current, except for Chuck's announcement and credit given to Thomas Dickey for some Cygwin terminal changes. Hm, guess I should've checked cygwin-apps too. OK, that's on my list.
Your interpretation of "updating" and "reverting" below is correct. It works for me with terminfo 5.2-3 and doesn't work with 5.3-1. I'm using vim 6.1.300-1 in a cmd.exe window running bash (2.05b-8).
OK. So I guess we can consider the symptom confirmed.
Igor's right. We need a name for the windows that are created for non-gui, character subsystem. Surely CMD.EXE is not involved in your scenario (which is the one I routinely use, too). I think "console" is OK.
When Jurgen mentioned "top" in his report on the output anomalies in "procps" I checked it for this symptom. It uses ncurses6 and also fails to restore the window contents.

Does the presence of quote marks indicate you don't consider this a problem?
The wording of the "updating ..." and "reverting ..." sentences is ambiguous to me. Are you saying that you do see the failure to restore the original window contents when Vim is quit or suspended under terminfo-5.3-1 and see the proper restore behavior under 5.2-3?
