* Long lines output by a native process in the PTY have new lines at the wrap point in the terminal @ 2020-06-29 13:52 Andrew Ng 2020-06-29 14:02 ` Thomas Wolff 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Andrew Ng @ 2020-06-29 13:52 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin Hi, If you run a native process in bash using mintty that outputs lines longer than the width of the terminal, these lines become "split" with a new line at the wrap point. This can make copying the output somewhat tricky, especially if the output is a command line you want to copy, paste and run. Can be reproduced using GnuWin32 'echo' or a native version of Python using print. I am running Cygwin 3.1.5 and mintty 3.2.0.

This has been discussed as a mintty issue https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/971 It's actually a Windows ConPTY handling issue and reportedly they have a fix already in their queue, to appear in some future Windows build...
