I run mintty with "C:\Cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e /bin/bash --login". Every minute or so, or randomly, my mintty shell prompt gets the string "8~" inserted. If I leave the shell there, it will end up with a stringofthem. What might be causing this?Check the archives. I think there was a similar report that finally resolved itself as an overly zealous virus checker or something similar.Any idea what to search for? I've already searched the internet and the cygwin archives several months back with obvious search strings.This is what I was thinking of: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-10/msg00069.html>I don't know where the subject of virus scanners comes in here. I simply added the suggested line to ~/.inputrc and it seemed to resolve the problem. I'm not quite certain what it did, but I do know it fixed my current problem.
The thread actually mentions some software to disable screen-savers. This is apparently what my poor memory filtered out and substituted virus scanners for. Since this seems to be a common bash problem, I wonder if it makes sense to add the "\e[" sequence to the skeleton .inputrc file to avoid this issue at least on new installs. David, would you be willing to add it? -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
