The default terminal for Cygwin is now 'mintty'.  It mimics the default
behavior of Linux more closely.  If you wish to see the defaults and
modify them, click on the system menu for 'mintty' just as you would for
a command prompt console window.  From the menu pick "Options...".  You're
likely interested in the settings under "Mouse".
