Subject: vim problem (win xp): Cygwin seems unable to move the input cursor to arbitrary positions.

Good morning.

Since i've updated cygwin i only had time to try out vim again, and there seems to be a problem with
the automatic movement of the input cursor.

E.g. after simple character input, the cursor isn't moved to the next positon (but vim keeps
overwriting the last character i typed). And when typing a command (with the initial ':'), although
the ':' is getting printed to the proper bottom line, everything i type after that is getting put
into the document view (or wossname), only that this time the cursor position is getting incremented,
so that i actually can write a whole line of command-line text which also even is properly
interpreted as a command.

But what's really strange, is this. When i now split the screen with ':sp', the upper document view
behaves like the original, but the lower suddenly is working just fine. I can write whole lines of
text, manually move the cursor about, i.e. do all the fancy things i used to do (in the good old
days).

I look forward to any comments.
