The characters are passed: when I type blindly and hit enter the command goes through, but I cannot see what I am typing. My fix has been to simply close and re-open a new cygwin window.

That said, I've only had the problem when a terminal-handling app (=
emacs) gets killed unexpectedly, such as when an ssh connection drops.
