I see the same behaviour on Linux. I've tested with RedHat 8.0. So, as far
as Cygwin is concerned this is not a bug.
However I think that you're right to expect it to work as described. I'm
doing some work to fix problem 3. In fact what happens is that the escape
sequences are stripped by MC. With your settings for PS1 and RPROMPT
zsh outputs this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED];36m%\e[m\e[K\e[50C\e[1;34m/lib/cvs\e[m8:8\e[62D
MC strips all control characters and leaves only:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /lib/cvs 8:8
As for problem 2 I'll have to trace a bit to see why no prompt is shown at
all.
I hope soon I'll be able to release an update version.
