Re: "type ahead" bug with cygwin


Yes Samuel, I am sure, I just tried it now, and it's been a couple of Cygwin restarts since last time.

I type a command "g geo" which runs 3 scripts deep to accomplish TGZipping, FTPing and then SSHing as part of file upload process. During that time (which happens during FTPing, the longest process) i type another command "g answers" <enter>

When "g geo" completes I even press <enter> (again), but nothing is present to take action, my up-key history confirms that indeed "g answers" never registered as a command, even though it echoed as I originally typed.

It could be the 3 levels deep script mechanism that's losing the input, but i believe that a regular Unix/Linux would keep the info present and execute the new command upon first one's completion.

This is not the first time it happened, it's 100% consistent to fail.

Mmm, are you sure?

There is a little bug indeed, in that they aren't echoed on the next
prompt, but if you type one character more, you'll see all of them (the
previously typed and the one just typed) appear.
