[gentoo-user] cygwin terminal problem logging into gentoo

[john lawler]

I've been having this problem ever since I installed gentoo.  I use ssh 
under Cygwin to login to my Gentoo box, and I've noticed whenever I try 
to look at 'top', when it goes fullscreen, it seems to put one character 
past the end of the line that the cygwin terminal can display, so that 
character wraps to the next line and makes everything look messed up.

One fix I tried was to make the command window of Cygwin go to 81 
characters (instead of 80), and this seemed to solve my problem for 
awhile, but now it's back.  I don't really notice this problem in any 
other applications.  Furthermore, on a couple of Red Hat machines I have 
around, I never have had this problem through Cygwin, looking at the top 
application output.

Anyone have a similar experience?  Any pointers?  My TERM env var is set 
to "cygwin".

Thanks,

jl
