It works as long as you get the context menu entry after it's invocation.

That's right, it IS bash in Cygwin, but...

The devil is in the details. When you don't explicitly call bash, it is
getting called as /bin/sh and fall back to POSIX compatibility mode.

Simple answer: you're doing it wrong. But that's not enough - you're not
reading/ignoring what the tool tell you.

chere -t mintty -s bash
or -s /bin/bash, I dunno...
