After exiting a process that returns me back to the shell, my prompt text is

on, prompt text is hidden.) The characters are passed: when I type blindly and
hit enter the command goes through, but I cannot see what I am typing. My fix
has been to simply close and re-open a new cygwin window.
I experienced this many years ago and found a fix. I recently got a new
computer but quite unfortunately I do not remember the solution, and searching
both my personal archives and the internet at large turned up nothing.
I usually just reset the terminal (type 'reset' and hit [enter])
That said, I've only had the problem when a terminal-handling app (=
emacs) gets killed unexpectedly, such as when an ssh connection drops.
