I've had exactly the same problem for some time now.

I've only seen it happen after a secure shell client connection has been
running with the stalled mintty terminal. To the best of my knowledge,
it's not happened in any other circumstances.

No keystrokes within the mintty session I've found so far will close the
window.

Any of the GUI ways of closing the window (single mouse click on the
close button at the right end of the title bar, double mouse click on
window icon at the left end of the title bar, Alt-F4 etc.) close the
window and the mintty process exits cleanly.

Not a massive problem but slightly annoying.

Cygcheck attached.
