Subject: Longfilename problem with mintty 3.6.0
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 08:04:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DB6P18901MB0055B9D0F703A19FBAC2065FA41E9@DB6P18901MB0055.EURP189.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)
I'm having difficulty with longfilename in the latest mintty.
As follows:
If I try to work with a file with such a longfilename that it extends beyond the right hand edge
of the mintty window, as in say
$ mv longfilename .. .. OR
$ cp longfilename .. .. OR
$ md5sum longfilename OR
similar; and if I try to save effort by (as usual)
$ mv long<TAB>
and similar, then word-wrap does not occur and I end up with visual gobbledegook on a single line
(though I think the instruction completes).
This is new since 3.6.0.
(I thought it might be something to do with the new "re-wrap on re-size" facility but cannot develop
this suspicion into anything useful.)
Fergus
