Sometimes there are parts of alternative screen in the scrollback buffer, sometimes for example vim hangs while starting or completely crashes. You can see, that sometimes there are 2 blank lines between the prompts, sometimes only 1 on this screenshot: http://ferenczy.cz/tmp/cygwin/4.png I don't know how to simulate crash, hang or scrollback buffer crippling yet, it seems that it happens randomly to me. -- David Ferenczy http://twitter.com/DawidFerenczy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
