Re: Console issue

Is this a known issue?

I have my cygwin shortcut properties modified in the layout to allow for 9999 screen buffer lines.
I fire up a console, and hit enter a whole bunch of times so that the scroll bar moves a bit down.

Then I go into vi on a big text file and while in vi, tap above the scroll thumb a few times to page up in the console. Then I do :q and when I start hitting enter again, the contents of what was in vi is still present in the screen buffer. This means that I have to hit enter a lot of times to get past it.
Make sure your TERM environment variable is set appropriately.

$ export TERM=cygwin

should take care of it.
