When I run a program from the shell,

pressing the
arrow keys sends console input to the program and moves the cursor
around the terminal
Attach cygcheck output per http://cygwin.com/problems.html
arrow command recall works as expected with these programs in other
shells including previous versions of Cygwin.
Since you say it didn't happen with earlier versions, I don't see how it
makes sense to reference posts from April and January.
Also, please don't confuse terminology. A "shell" is a program like
Bash, csh, etc. I think you mean "terminal," but your post isn't clear
enough to make me certain of that.
