How to debug/troubleshoot mintty?

[Allen Hewes]

Hi,

I seem to be having more screen text redraw/repaint issues with mintty lately (about 6 - 9 months).  Generally, it's more often remote systems (via SSH) vs my local client peecee.

My issues range from scrambled up text, cursor in wrong location, cursor line in wrong location and rows/cols changed from initial launch. I have looked at infomcp, stty output and settings. I have compiled new term definitions from Thomas Dickeys ncurses site. I can't seem to find something obvious.

How do I debug/troubleshoot these issues?

Thanks,

/allen

Pick *one* example from what you think is wrong, describe it clearly, 
and provide a screen log (mintty -l .logfile) that reproduces the issue 
with `cat .logfile`.
