Henry, thanks for working to track this down. I went back and looked and I did
find one problem: because of an error in the cygport file, a patch that Shaddy
Baddah developed to fix a scrolling screen corruption bug
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-05/msg00331.html) wasn't being applied. The
effect of the patch is to use terminfo, instead of termcap. This certainly
seems as though it might also fix the scrolling problem.
So I just uploaded a new test release, 4.3.1-2, that includes the patch. With
the patch applied, yes I do have
#define TERMINFO 1
However in my testing the scrollbar is still missing. Please test the new
release yourself, and let me know what you find.
Andrew
