Re: Very recent issue running git bash from ConEmu

[Dakota Hawkins]

Apologies, I forgot to mention that my GFW install options haven't changed recently. I've always chosen to use MinTTY:

install-options.txt:

Path Option: BashOnly

SSH Option: OpenSSH

CRLF Option: CRLFCommitAsIs

Bash Terminal Option: MinTTY

Performance Tweaks FSCache: Enabled

Hi everybody,

I'm not sure if anybody else favors using something like ConEmu for tabbed consoles, but I've been using it with GFW for quite a while.

With the 2.8 update, I suspect, I have a very odd issue where vim will hang when it opens with a blank screen, but only under ConEmu, it works fine from git bash.

The ConEmu developer is pretty militantly against bug reports involving cygwin or MSYS.

I was able to get it working using their experimental cygwin/msys terminal connector, but this seems kind-of hacky and wasn't necessary before. 

Is anybody aware of any any problems or new developments in 2.8 that might involve a change in mintty use or ANSI codes emitted (going from some of the information here)?

The command that was previously used from ConEmu to launch git's shell was: "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i if that helps at all.

I don't want to make two repos angry because each thinks the issue is with the other, so I thought I'd check here first.

Thanks!

Yes, this has been reported on our bug tracker, too:

Yes, I noticed :-)

I try to investigate as my time allows and keep that ticket updated as to
my progress.

In the meantime, I identified the change that broke vim in cmd and offer a
workaround here:
