mintty 3.6.4 status line problem

[Ross Boulet]

I was looking at the settings for mintty and saw the new option (new as of 3.6.4 from March) for a status line. I decided to try it out. Sure enough, a status line appeared at the bottom. All was well until I tried to open a new mintty window and nothing seemed to happen. After a little research, I saw a stackdump was being generated. I had to get to the .minttyrc file and remove the StatusLine=yes to get it to work again. I tried the same scenario on another Windows 10 machine as well as a Windows 11 machine with the same results.

To reproduce the problem, right click on the icon in the upper left corner of a mintty window and choose options. On the options dialog, choose terminal and check the option to turn on the status line. Then click save. The current window shows a status line but attempts to start a new window will fail and generate a stackdump.
