I'm on Cygwin 1.7.26 on Win7.
I run mintty with "C:\Cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e /bin/bash --login".
Every minute or so, or randomly, my mintty shell prompt gets the string
"8~" inserted. If I leave the shell there, it will end up with a string of
them. What might be causing this?
Check the archives. I think there was a similar report that finally
resolved itself as an overly zealous virus checker or something similar.
