vttest site documents xterm implements VT100 am/xenl compatibly 
and rxvt and some other consoles do not: ignoring non-print characters 
and sequences until a printable character advances to the next row:

My last remaining VT ref seems to be (c) 1987 June DEC EK-VT320-UG-001 
VT320 UG which says on pp.23-24:

cygpath -w converts relative paths to absolute windows paths

2017-02-06 Thread Roger Qiu

Hi,

I've found that `cygpath --windows '../` will give back an absolute 
windows path.


I thought this would only happen if you provide the `--absolute` flag, 
or when the path is a special cygwin path.


But this occurs just for normal directories.

I have come across a situation where I need to convert ntfs symlinks to 
unix symlinks and back. Sometimes these symlinks have relative paths 
them. Now by using cygpath --windows, I get back absolute paths, which 
means the integrity of the symlink isn't preserved.


Can `cygpath --windows '../directory'` give back `..\directory` for 
paths aren't special cygwin paths? These relative backslashes are 
supported in Windows right now.


Thanks,

Roger

This may be a whisper from the distant past when some glass ttys moved
the cursor to the next line when you wrote to the last column of a
line, and others did not move the cursor until you wrote the next
character. Or they were different depend the width mode: 80 or 132
characters.

A virtual terminal handler, such as curses, had to know which behavior
would occur on the physical terminal in order to correctly maintain
the virtual terminal cursor position. When you did not know what the
physical terminal would do, you had to avoid writing to the 80th
column, or use safe cursor positioning that would work in either case.

Back in the day, I wrote a full screen editor that was usable with a
luggable glass tty with a 300 baud acoustic modem. Optimizing the data
stream was an extreme priority.

I also enhanced the terminal emulator that came with Plan 9 to more
fully emulate DEC's VT100 family of physical terminals when connected
to various remote mini's and mainframes running full screen apps.

When you don't know the precise behavior of a terminal or terminal
emulator, you must fallback to "safe" defaults. You can't always trust
the TERM variable. If you're lucky, you will get a standard
answer-back, which, in the case of a terminal emulator, may be
faithfully emulated.

Programs like screen and tmux throw themselves into the middle of this muddle.

Have you checked that? Recently changed your prompt? Try with basic

Thanks for supporting and enhancing mintty to be even better in
Cygwin, and able to be used as a console for other environments.

The test below may be relevant to the above problem, or may be
unrelated.
Running vttest 2.7 (20140305)
http://invisible-island.net/vttest/vttest.html
updated by and used by xterm maintainer for testing.

Test 1. Test of cursor movements screens 3 80 col mode and 4 132 col
mode gives results looking like below ...
I was aware this test fails, but save any related bug reports so far I 
had assumed it would not be relevant for applications...
Actually, urxvt (rxvt-unicode as invoked on cygwin) fails the same test 
in the same way, so
@Achim: can you please retest with urxvt, for some additional diagnostic 
information?
Actually, also xterm would fail this test if vttest would not disable 
Reverse Wraparound mode initially.
It also enables Wraparound mode which again affects the test case. 
Mintty does not support Reverse Wraparound mode disabling, it's always 
implicitly enabled. I could try to change that, however, I'm not sure 
yet that's really the cause.
Also, the "proper" way to handle wraparound situations (in the 4 
combinations of the 2 modes) is not completely clear, and Reverse 
Wraparound is an xterm specific mode which did not exist on the DEC 
terminals. See some links for reference:

VT100 Termcap Entry (CENG 455) 


http://www.pitt.edu/%7Ejcaretto/text/cleanup/vt100-termcap.html


It may also be useful if mintty had some character hex value box
display mode switch to display the actual codes at each visual
position, or maybe a font used to display the character hex value in
a box, often used in fonts as glyphs for non-printing control
characters and those in the Private Use Area, in which case that could
perhaps be added to the mintty package for use in testing.
I have been searching for such a font with no success so far.
Hmm, I don't see how that's related to this issue, but it might be a 
nice feature.
Like my text editor, mined, actually does: inform about current 
character code and name (and CJK details if desired).
I could imagine to have a mode (switchable by context menu) that shows 
this information in the window title bar, to avoid the effort of 
handling a popup box.

Within tmux or more often screen within tmux.  I'll have to try what
happens in plain mintty.

OK, it's more… interesting than I first thought.  I can reproduce it
when setting up a screen session inside tmux and I might need to be
connected to the screen session via mosh.  It doesn't consistently
happen even then.  I first thought it had something to do with my
setting TERM to xterm-256color, but it happens with screen-256color as
well.  I've had the issue appear when switching the TERM variable to
xterm-256color and it didn't go away when I've reverted to
screen-256color.  I've meanwhile confirmed I get the same problem when
I'm running under screen-256color all the way from the first shell.

Why would you want to run screen within tmux?
Anyway, I cannot reproduce the issue, although I used to have strange 
effects with a remote screen or tmux once myself.
I'd either need a reproducible test case (like start a fresh mintty, run 
screen (locally/remotely?), type a certain command etc),
or, likely easier in this case, a screen log that demonstrates the 
effect (mintty -l logfile).
You may also try to toggle wraparound mode; see the mail I'm going to 
write in response to Brian's response.



No, I don't think it's related to that issue and I haven't changed my
prompt in years.  It's specifically happening only on the last line in
the terminal window with the first character that should wrap onto the
next line and not anywhere else and only when scrolling the window
happens.  If the shell has lost the correct terminal geometry, then it's
wrong on all lines of the terminal, not just the last in my experience.

I can actually provoke this by simply typing in a too long line: when
the last character in the last line gets entered, the terminal opens a
new line below, scrolling the content up one line (and keeping the
status line of the tmux in place on the _real_ last line).  It then
scrolls up another line, repeats the the first character of the prompt
on the original line and appends any further characters entered after
that character.
See above. This might have helped already but it didn't. More precise 
reproduction instructions are needed.

I think that's reasonable, but the question is what is "correct"?  Any
valid settings for nsswitch.conf could be "correct" for different use
cases, whereas the cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh script seems
to have some very specific requirements that don't match the default
configuration, or even many non-default configurations (especially
w.r.t. db_home and db_shell).

Best,
Erik
