This is Cygwin 64 on Windows 10 in a VirtualBox VM, cygcheck output attached.

It has been a while since I updated Cygwin; as long as it serves my purpose, I generally don't focus
on that; it is just a tool I use.

Since I did open this thread, of course I need to make sure I am up-to-date. I have now done that
and I don't see issues with Cygwin terminal and less, although that is not really where I am
focusing. I mostly use xterm windows just because there are several characteristics I like about it.

I am still seeing issues with xterm and less, as I stated in my original post.
