True. I also reported it.

And I know nothing, really.

The same here on XP Professional.

Sorry, to get some attention from brazilian users.

BTW, are you able to reproduce the screen problem I reported at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00698.html ?

I'm giving up. I really don't see the advantages of using the
default terminal. Maybe only "Full Screen" ?

Another problem is with the colors. Compare an application
running in "Full Screen" and "Window". The text is much darker
with the latter, making it unreadable with certain
applications.
