Not seeing any issues with this test release.
Sometime in the last while, Cygwin Setup started making the default chooser
column widths 100-200px wide, and I don't see any obviously relevant change in
the log, nor any issues in setup.log.full.
Only unusual occurrence may be /etc/setup/setup.rc chooser_window_settings has
4G-1 in fields 4-7 of window placement, and wondered if those could be getting
used incorrectly for column width calculations?
I'm on Windows 1909 19H1 10.0.18363.1379 until my next update which says it has
20H? pending.
