You say "restore", but I've never seen this behaviour in rxvt. Did it
only make a transient appearance?
Alt-Space is used in emacs for "just-one-space" which I use frequently.
I can count on the fingers of zero hands the number of times I've ever
wanted to summon the window menu using the keyboard from within rxvt.
So, before I update and regret it, can this pandering to a Windows
convention at the expense of *nix compatibility be disabled? If not,
I consider this to be a major regression, effectively rendering rxvt
useless for me.
Cygwin is fundamentally about facilitating doing things the *nix way
in a hostile Windows environment, not about compromising *nix
applications in order to make them more friendly for Windows users.
