Hi guys, I have the habit of using 'tail -f /some/log' and pressing enter a couple times as a "visual" bookmark. When I'm done inspecting the file in question, I press Ctrl-C to kill tail... what I'm left with is literally hundreds of empty prompts caused by all the enters I pressed. If I do the same on my linux box, all characters I type while tail -f is running are discarded when Ctrl-C is pressed. Simple example: 1. Start your favorite cygwin shell 2. type 'tail -f <any-regular-file>' 3. type 'a<enter>b<enter>c' - with CYGWIN=tty, you will see a, b, and c on their separate lines - with CYGWIN=notty, none of the typed characters are seen 4. press Ctrl-C - 'command not found' errors about both a and b can be seen - with CYGWIN=tty, the prompt doesn't include the c character last typed - with CYGWIN=notty, the prompt includes the c character last typed I've tried this with bash and tcsh on the console, rxvt and xtermi... all exhibit the problem. Cheers, Sebastien
