Command shell window remains open in Windows 7 #370

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.I insalled Wintin 2.0.0.9
2.I set it up just the same as I had it on Windows XP
3.I ran it just the same as in XP and I get the problems below.  In fact I've 
tried it on XP and it works fine (no extra window), taken the same files and 
copied them into Windows 7 and I get the extra window.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
On windows XP, when I run Wintin, the main window opens an no other windows are 
seen.  In Windows 7, the commandshell window (Mintty) opens and stays open then 
the main window opens.  If either is closed, both close.

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
1.I'm running the latest versino of Wintin 2.0.0.9
2.I'm running Mintty 0.9.8.1
3.I'm using cygwin1.dll from version 1007.9.0.0

Please provide any additional information below.
Any help would be appreciated.  A similar topic can be found here, but it isn't 
resolved as the thread would suggest.

I also found this problem, with mintty 1.1.2 & windows 7 x64, it's totally fine 
on XP.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Open command window, execute "start c:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe & exit", mintty 
will be openned while the cmd session still exist and hang. Close the either 
mintty or cmd session will cause another closed.

Stumbled upon the same problem after upgrading to cygwin today. mintty itself 
was already on 1.1.3. I am running Windows 7 (32-bit).

found the solution: My cygwin installation was corrupt. The filesystem check 
reported several errors, specially in the terminfo and tzcode packages. After 
reinstalling the three packages, everything is fine again.

I can reproduce this on Windows 8.1 with MSYS2 mintty:
1. open Start
2. type cmd.exe
3. press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
4. run mintty from my MSYS2 installation
5. mintty window appears and the command prompt stays

When I close the command prompt, mintty is closed. Prefixing "start" to the 
command makes no difference.
