Start by examing your assumptions - run and post output from: $ cmd /c ver $ uname -srvmo $ mintty --version Next check your Cygwin or mintty startup and post the mintty startup command here. Then attach your ~/.minttyrc as text to your post: sometimes you make a tweak and forget, then much later, remember you messed yourself up. ;^> Also check if you have an /etc/minttyrc which may change settings, and attach as text if present. -- Take care.
