If the tab key is entered as the first character running the bash shell on an xterm terminal, the keyboard temporarily locks. Control-C writes ^C but doesn't unlock it. This doesn't happen on Fedora. It also doesn't lock if a space is typed first.
This occurs whether or not the xterm console is in an X environment. For some reason I seem to accidentally do this a lot more often than I'd like, so it's a real nuisance. I checked this mailing list for the last four months and couldn't find " tab" or a useful "tab ", I find it difficult to believe that I'm the first to see this, so maybe there's something I changed that's making this happen. Any advice on what that might be? -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
