Please try to minimize/remove your config file and quote a minimal
configuration that has the effect. Do you have the scrollbar enabled?


That was helpful! Removed .minttyrc, then opened a terminal, the problem had disappeared. Now bringing back the same exact .minttyrc does not have any problem. Thank you!
