Prompt at bottom of terminal

Prompt at bottom of terminal

[Michelle Pace]

Hi there,

This would seem a somewhat arbitrary question but it is driving me
crazy. The prompt on my terminal starts from the bottom of the
terminal. Could anyone tell me how I get it to start from the top left
hand corner like "normal"?

The Target of the icon which I use to start cygwin with is:
C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -

Thanks in advance,
Michelle

Here's an untested suggestion: call reset from your login script (
~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile ).
When I call reset manually, I always end up with the prompt at the top.

Thanks Csaba for your suggestion, but it doesn't work for me :(

You should try to find out the cause of the cursor starting at the
bottom in the first place.  It doesn't usually so something in your
profiles is doing that, apparently.
