Bugs and Enhancements
Please report bugs or suggest enhancements via the issue tracker.
Bugs that were reported to the previous repository at Google code before June, 2015, have been migrated here.
- Mind! Before reporting an issue about character interaction with an application, please check the issue also with at least one other terminal (xterm, urxvt), and maybe the Cygwin Console. It may also be useful to get a proper understanding of the rรดle of a terminal as explained e.g. in difference between a 'terminal', a 'shell', a 'tty' and a 'console'.
