Hi Guys,
I have a couple of nits that I would like to pick about Cygwin.
Mostly I am trying to find out if anyone knows what causes this, and
if there is something that could be done about it. If I can zero in
on the problem code, I would be willing to take a look at this myself.
1. When you start a bash shell, the cursor flashes at a reasonable
rate, but when you start typing it generally disappears from view.
Normally in NT when you start typing something, the cursor remains as
a solid block vertical bar until you stop typing, so you can tell
where you are at. Ie: with bash if you start using the arrow keys to
move around in the command line, you have to pause every so often to
let the cursor flash so you can see where you are at! Any ideas on
how to fix this?
2. Bash seems a lot slower at responding to commands than a regular
command shell on NT. Bash on Linux is very responsive, so it must be
something inherent in Cygwin. Is this something that is a known
issue? I assume it would be solved already if it was simple, so I am
mostly curious.
Regards,
