Every use has another idea how >the terminal should behave in this regard, I guess. I'd also appreciate very much implementing that option. mintty is promoted here as a replacement for rxvt but obviously lacks a functionality I've come to depend on. My use case is a terminal window in which I don't do much but where a lot of background jobs regularly produce output. A quick glance at the window tells me the current status of those jobs. Not with mintty anymore. Same with the classic use case tail -f logfile. Thanks, Michael
