I tried changing those settings without much luck. Anyway I don't think those settings can help, since they were already there in 22.2.1, which doesn't have this problem. > A second possibility is to use the version of emacs compiled > without X support (/usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe) to see if that > works better than emacs -nw (which is really emacs-X11.exe > -nw after you unwind the symbolic links).

It does mean one can't easily tell if the problem is Cygwin-specific. Normally I can check a Linux distribution with a similar version. > Out of curiosity, is there some reason why you need to use > the -nw switch when you run emacs? I don't use it all the time, but it's a lot quicker to run emacs -nw in an rxvt than starting an X-server just for a quick edit - if I don't happen to have the X-server running already. Of course another option is the Windows version of emacs, so it's not essential, just handy.
