Fwd: [1.7] bash loop and mintty hung issue


Hi Andy, FYI. I have tested  out on my Linux machine running bash 3.2.48 (instead of 3.2.49 as on cygwin). I don't have this problem with bash under xterm with set -o vi and pressing shift PF key. Does this problem happen to you with set -o vi and pressing shift PF key when using mintty in cygwin? Thanks.

Eric.

Hi Andy, yes the same happens in xterm.  I found out the cause of the problem. I have the following statement in my .bashrc:
set -o vi

Not sure why this would casue the problem of using  shift PF key and causing terminal hung and bash looping.

Thanks

Eric.

I did some more testing. When in mintty, if I press shift and any PF key, the bash process will go to 50 % CPU. Thanks.

I'm running cygwin 1.7.0(0.212/5/3), bash 3.2.49(23), mintty 0.4.4.  I use C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe - and get a terminal session. I then press shift F12. The window just lock up and the Windows Task Manager shows bash.exe using 50% of cpu. When I close the hung window, bash.exe task is gone and cpu usage back to normal. When I use the cygwin console, this problem does not happen. Not sure whether this problem has been reported yet. Thanks.

Eric.
