I just did an update of Cygwin on a Windows 7 box. When I open ConEmu to a Cygwin Bash terminal, everything seems fine. However, if I run GNU Screen, the terminal locks up until I forcibly kill screen.exe using a Task Manager. This was not happening before the update.
I tried other updates with other mirrors but it doesn't seem to help. I tried removing my .screenrc file, it also didn't help. I tried downgrading my version Screen to 4.3.1-1 and it didn't help either. I tried the newest version of ComEmu and it didn't help. I tried running Screen from MinTTY and it works okay (but MinTTY has some other problems with Screen so it's not a good solution for me).
I had another Window 7 machine and it also broke as soon as I updated Cygwin. It must be some sort of new version of some sub-library that causes this issue. Anyone have this same issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
First of all, try to run screen in the standart Windows console (neither ConEmu, not mintty). Does the problem repeat? Then report to cygwin maintainers. https://conemu.github.io/en/CygwinMsys.html
