Subject: Text problems with Cygwin >1.1.14 and TinyFugue
Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2002 07:59:07 -0600
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The problem was first noticed with Cygwin 1.1.14 but I wanted to see if it
would persist in a later release, which it has.  I have noticed in in 1.1.15
as well.  When trying to use TinyFugue (http://tf.tcp.com/~hawkeye/tf) with
these versions of Cygwin I cannot enter text.  When I try to type anything I
am present with an unending stream of garbage. It bears a resemblance to
binary. The only way to quit tf with these versions of Cygwin is to close the
window.  I tried reconfiguring/recompiling against 1.1.15 but that did not
work. Backing out to 1.1.13-2, the last working version, does work.
Interestingly, the version compiled against 1.1.15 does work with the older
version of Cygwin. I built a version of tf with debugging symbols, but I was
unable to see any problems with what it is doing.  The problems are
independent of the shell I run tf under; I tried with bash and zsh and both
produced the same results.  I had the same problems regardless of whether or
not I used visual mode in tf as well.  Can anyone help?
