Hm, there's something fishy there. I have 'tty' set as well with no side affects. However, trying to set 'tty' in your profile should be a no-op. This value is only referenced at load time for cygwin1.dll (see <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html>) so setting the value in /etc/profile should have no affect whatsoever. As an aside, 'ntsec' is now on by default for recent releases of cygwin1.dll. You should be able to remove this line entirely from your /etc/profile. You should try setting the CYGWIN environment variable to include 'tty' *before* cygwin1.dll loads (for example, set it in 'cygwin.bat'). It would be interesting to hear whether this works for you as well (it should).

Mr. Hall,
Thanks for the fast response.
I was beginning to list my environmente variables as suggested in "problems.html" and I think I cleared the problem.
Redefining /etc/profile from
export CYGWIN=" $CYGWIN ntsec tty "
to
export CYGWIN=" $CYGWIN ntsec"
made things come back to normal.
"Um abraço",
Marcus

Hi, guys,
Using Cygwin 1.3.22 on XP, bash 2.05b, I have my echo disappearing after
using
a tool like man, vim, perl -MCPAN -e "shell", mc and others.
As I can notice, any tool which has some output in color messes with the
bash
shell after exiting from that tool. I can no longer see what is typed at
the
prompt.
Any ideas? Orientations?
Other than <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, no. I tried vi'ing a file that would invoke syntax highlighting (i.e. color) from my bash prompt and then exiting. It worked fine. Everything is still visible. But perhaps more information on your configuration and a sequence of steps you took to reproduce the problem would be helpful for someone here to diagnose your problem.
