I can totally second that behaviour. > I've seen it ctrl-c'ing to get out of a tail in an xterm, so it isn't > specific to mintty. I do not use mintty (yet?), so it is not specific to it. I have seen it when connecting remotely via ssh (for example, putty to localhost), as well as when using the "prepared" cygwin.bat file to get cygwin in a Windows console. For me, it first happened when I moved from Cygwin 1.5 to 1.7. Note that I was not one of the early adaptors, though, thus, I cannot say if this was present in 1.7.1 from the beginning. One thing I noticed: Sometimes, when this happens, you have to wait some minutes. Afterwards, the behaviour fixes itself. I feel this is strange. Is it occurs to me very often I thought about a local problem on my side, that's why I did not report it yet. > > terminal settings all scrogged up, and requires you to "blindly" type in > > 'reset' (or stty sane) to fix it. Yes, I can second this, too: You still can type and execute commands, you just cannot see what you are typing. Best regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
