I think you're misunderstanding where the limitation is coming from. The console itself is limited in functionality compared to what's expected of a terminal. Cygwin can only do so much to smooth out those limitations. This particular issue is a corner case, perhaps an extreme corner case. If there is some work-around that could be found and/or implemented, it's probably of limited value in general so it's likely that someone with the itch will need to chase this down and implement a workaround if possible. Besides that, the alternatives are to side-step the console limitations by using mintty or take this upstream to ComEmu or MS. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
