Thanks for trying anyway! > Q2) Have you got any clipboard utilities running? > A2) Every application has access to the clipboard, right? So yes. You can get various 3rd party utilities for adding stuff like a clipboard history or Windows-wide copy-on-select. > Q3) Does it work if you delete or rename ~/.minttyrc to go back to the > default settings and copy something through the context menu? > A3) Didn't find a .minttyrc, does mintty create one when it starts? No, it only creates one when you press OK in the options dialog, but of course you didn't get to that. > What does mintty put in there if it creates one? Its settings, in the form of key-value pairs like 'CopyOnSelect=1'. (I'd asked in case it was a particular combination of options that triggered the crash.)
