For example, the default buffer is 80 columns, same as the window size. Cygwin window size is correct, but that last column can never be accessed, it always stays blank and the text wraps on column 79. Here is a test:
1. Enter spaces until you reach next line, this way the prompt is not adding to our count
2. Enter: 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
Now with cmd.exe, you get all 80 characters on the same line, but with Cygwin it always wraps 1 character before. I don’t remember this always being the case, I believe it used to work correct 1-2 years ago.
I'm on Win7 64-bit with 64-bit Cygwin 2.6.0(0.304/5/3). To clarify, the above occurs with bash 4.3.46(7) in a Windows console, and I see the behavior there as well. This does not happen with the same bash in mintty 2.7, so it appears to be specific to the combination of bash and the Windows console.
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-02/msg00072.html I found a fix to this problem. Create a file "cygwin-xenl.terminfo": cygwin-xenl|cygwin eat_newline_glitch, xenl, use=cygwin, Compile and install the file: tic cygwin-xenl.terminfo Add line to "~/.profile" or similar: TERM=cygwin-xenl Interestingly, if you start via the shortcut (mintty), a different terminal is used; one that already has xenl turned on: $ echo $TERM xterm $ infocmp xterm | grep xenl am, bce, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xenl, Running Cygwin.bat with xterm is not a solution though, because xterm uses different values for the key codes. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/terminfo.5.html -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
