Well unfortunately what it said in the below
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/123036/match=bash+completion

and uncommenting out the case statement did not fix it, sorry about that.
I did not test it right.
I did discover that I can workaround it by typing the "reset" command but when
you type it you won't be able to see it.
