Yes, and the Delay described below works to fix editors running under Cygwin as well, which is what leads me to believe the issue of cursor tracking is a console window one, not just one affecting openssh.

This is bloody fantastic if it works. I'm off to try it.

One thing I just noticed. Yet another bug from FS!

If you hit insert+q in a CMD window, you get the name of the application, or
even worse, with no application running, you get
administrator.exe

All they do is take the title of the window or something equally worthless.

Thoughts on this one?

*sigh*

Take care,
Sina

Serious +1 for figuring this out!
I have also found that, on Vista plus, setting
[osm]
EnhancedConsoleSupport=0
in default.jcf improves console support dramatically. It defaults to 1
or 2, so search for the option and switch it.
