Hi,

After a recent update (couple of days ago), backspace echoes a space in
mintty.

The default terminal is xterm-256color:
$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color

I don't set term myself and I guess this variable is set by mintty itself,
since it is the value for the terminal in mintty own options.

If I switch to:
$ export TERM=cygwin

I get a functioning backspace again.

So :
- what has changed recently wrt mintty ?
- what would be a right default TERM value in mintty?

Regards,

Fabrice
