Dear Sirs:

After recently updating my cygwin installation, emacs-nox now 
pseudorandomly dims some characters after the cursor passes through a 
character's position. I don't think the problem lies with emacs-nox, 
but rather with mintty. 
To support that claim you'd need to provide a clear symptom description 
and a reproducible test case.
You could make a screen log (not shot) or a reproducible command 
sequence to reveal the effect, then describe what you see and what you'd 
expect to see.
I say this as the color dimming happens when one is using local 
emacs-nox within a mintty or using remote emacs-nox after sshing 
within a mintty.


After I first discovered the dimming problem I noticed a separate 
problem with the backspace key in ssh sessions. I then noticed that 
there was yet another more recent mintty update, so I thought that I'd 
try that. After applying that update, the backspace problem resolved 
itself. However, the character dimming problem remains.
