Re: Odd apparent cursor movement in mintty (+emacs)

correct, however - it only moves one character forward.

emacsclient 23.2, GNU Emacs 23.2.1, if it makes any difference.

[1] backward, too, but up and down seem unaffected

Do you have any non-ASCII characters on the affected lines? If so, it sounds like a mismatch of character encoding between mintty and emacs' assumption. What's your locale environment variables?
