I am unable to duplicate it on Mac OS X or Linux, using Terminal, aterm (0.4.2) and xterm. The OS X version links against ncurses 5.4; the Linux version uses only the termcap library. (Though I have to say that the color change makes the display almost unusable.) This is at least the second cygwin-only display problem, both (if I recall correctly) with that version of ncurses. I don't use cygwin, and have no plans to install it, so I will need the assistance of cygwin developers to track these down.
