Cygwin programs display output incorrectly when run under conemu

[Dr Hartmut Bartels]

I had the same issue and got answer from Takashi Yano
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-01/msg00003.html

My workareound  is
using version ConEmuPack.170807.7z. This works
together with cygwin 3.1.2-1. Versions of Comemu greater 170807 won't.

Same for cmder, if replacing conemu with version 170807.
