Thanks cyg Simple.It depends on the level of support you want from this listIn this case, if Cygwin is supposed to work with the regular windows console? If mintty was created due to Cygwin *not working as expected* on default windows console, that's a good answer, as long as it's correct. If Cygwin *should* work on default windows console, then I would appreciate someone explaining if there's a workaround, if this would be considered a candidate for development any time soon, things like that. I don't expect anything. I'm not paying others to develop. I do hope the bugs are fixed, one way or another, as I use Cywgin daily, so of course I'd like it to work in an environment I have and like.
I think you're misunderstanding where the limitation is coming from. The console itself is limited in functionality compared to what's expected of a terminal. Cygwin can only do so much to smooth out those limitations. This particular issue is a corner case, perhaps an extreme corner case. If there is some work-around that could be found and/or implemented, it's probably of limited value in general so it's likely that someone with the itch will need to chase this down and implement a workaround if possible. Besides that, the alternatives are to side-step the console limitations by using mintty or take this upstream to ComEmu or MS. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
