But it seems the problem could bot be duplicated by others. I use "mintty -" to start up a terminal session. Today, I found out the problem. The loop is caused by set -o vi in my .bashrc. After I removed that statement, I can hit shift F12 without bash looping (reported by task manager). If I start mintty without -, shift F12 just gives 4;2~ back. Once I enter set -o vi, shift F12 hang and bash starts looping With this information, I hope mintty users can duplicate this problem and hopefully a fix could be available. Thanks.
