Currently experiencing a weird problem in Cygwin on W2000: In a rxvt window, both " and ' behave in the same way: pressing either key results in nothing on the screen, but pressing either key followed by <space> results in the expected ' or " appearing, without the space.
Exploring the symptom within an application and using readkey(), it turns out that ' and " initially return the correct codes 39 and 34 but under circumstances not understood and therefore not describable these change to -88 and -76, leading to syntax errors. There are other strange behaviours, all similar and apparently related to the above. I know I have seen this or similar symptoms recently described, but cannot find it. Possibly in a X context, so I'm copying this to the cygwin-xfree list too. Can anybody please point me to the thread (and, with any luck, explanation and solution)? Thank you.
