I have run Cygwin on multiple versions of Windows including recently on
Windows XP and don't think I ever had this problem. Resizing or
specifying a geometry always resulted in the exact number of columns
requested, with increments of 1 column being available when dragging the
borders of a window to resize.
Now, after upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit, I cannot get the window to
have 80 columns on resize. It jumps in increments of two or three,

Thanks for reporting this problem.
I think this may be resolved by a fix "Correctly interpret WM_HINTS,
WM_NORMAL_HINTS properties on x86_64" I made in 1.15.1-3 [1]. Can you
please test with the latest version?
Should I be able to resize by increments of one column?
Yes
