Using the latest cygwin DLL (1.7.15-1) I am routinely encountering a strange issue when quitting vim. This only occurs if I have used ^Z to suspend vim, restored it with fg, and later quit. IOW things work normally if I never suspend vim.A problematic session looks something like: -------- [~]$ vim [1]+ Stopped vim [~]$ fg vim [~]$ -------- The problem is evident in the last two lines which should be flush with the left margin. For comparison, substituing 'less' for 'vim': -------- [~]$ less /Cygwin.bat [1]+ Stopped less -r /Cygwin.bat [~]$ fg less -r /Cygwin.bat [~]$ -------- The terminal behaves normally so it doesn't seem like any settings get corrupted (pressing enter gives me a properly-aligned prompt). Currently, stty just outputs: speed 38400 baud; line = 0; but I have tried various settings of the newline / CR translations to no avail. Interestingly, the "info" program exhibits the same behaviour. I thought maybe it would affect other "fullscreen" programs like "less" or "man", but I couldn't reproduce it with those two (as shown above). Any ideas what could be causing this / how to further diagnose? It's not a killer but it certainly looks weird. This used to happen with older cygwin dll's but IIRC it was never so reliably reproducible.
I don't know the cause, but I often find that 'stty sane' fixes this kind of problem.
