Issue 4 (fixed)

Summary

VT100 emulation incompatibility.

Description

This issue affects Cygwin programs which run under the Microsoft console window that is also used by cmd.exe In other words, console-subsystem Cygnal programs. When such programs print a line of text which is exactly the width of the screen, the cursor position advances to the next line. On a VT100 terminal, the cursor is understood to stay in the same line. This particularly effects interactive editing programs which depend on knowing where the cursor is, causing them to mess up the display. It also affects non-interactive programs which create output formatted to exactly 80 columns: such output will show extra blank lines.

Target Release: 2.5.1.98
