Subject: mintty emacs-nox pseudorandom color dimming
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 13:47:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1d8e1d03-c0a2-81e8-2f5c-b0f64ab52e89@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu> (raw)
Dear Sirs:
After recently updating my cygwin installation, emacs-nox now pseudorandomly dims some characters after the cursor passes through a character's position. I don't think the problem lies with emacs-nox, but rather with mintty. I say this as the color dimming happens when one is using local emacs-nox within a mintty or using remote emacs-nox after sshing within a mintty.
After I first discovered the dimming problem I noticed a separate problem with the backspace key in ssh sessions. I then noticed that there was yet another more recent mintty update, so I thought that I'd try that. After applying that update, the backspace problem resolved itself. However, the character dimming problem remains.
Regards,
Paul Ausbeck
