tmux conf commands don't work in Cygwin tmux

[Tony Cappellini <cappy2112@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using the following version of Cygwin on Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit.
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 <system name> 2.6.0(0.304/5/3) 2016-08-31 14:32 x86_64 Cygwin



I've got a minimal .tmux.conf file that I use on OSX & Linux. this
conf file works great on OSX,
as mouse support works as desired.

My .tmux.conf file is as follows

# Enables mouse scroll, mouse copy, mouse resize, mouse select
set-option -g mouse on

#scrollback buffer is very small by default, make it bigger
set -g history-limit 25000

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

# START NUMBERING WINDOWS AT 1 INSTEAD OF 0
set -g base-index 1



When I copied that file to my home directory in Cygwin,
I was surprised and disappointed that the same config commands don't
work, even though
I'm using the same version of tmux under Cygwin (tmux 2.2)

When I comment our the each line, tmux under Cygwin complains about
the next line.
I have re-sourced the conf file after each edit.

Would someone shed some light on this incompatibility with tmux under Cygwin?


Thanks


Tony
