Thanks Philip - I agree with that and it's even nicely described in ConEmu docs: http://conemu.github.io/en/CygwinAnsi.html While it might be a hack to get this working, mintty is not something that should be run in ConEmu, as both are terminal emulators. Anyway, I guess the question is - is Cygwin supposed (as in - designed with that in mind) to be working only under mintty or is it supposed to work with regular Windows console? Trying to figure out what to do - if it's not supposed to work outside of mintty, that cuts down the options considerably. -- 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
