Since the at least two last Windows 10 Insider Previews i have a wired issue regarding the bash.exe and sh.exe. Those bashes wont receive all/most of key inputs. At first it appears totally random for me, but it seems deterministic, e.g. if i enter the following key strokes:

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][0]

it does not show anything, if i press now [Ctrl+C], a new line will appear, and the previous line shows 258. With each time the same result...

PS: I do not know whats the different between the bash.exe and sh.exe is, but i have to use them if i want to embed the git bash into ConEmu/Cmder

@rezss @elieux

Hi, Any workaround?

[elieux]

Working on it. But my first advice would be to use MinTTY, i.e. git-bash.

[rezss]

@Silentz0r start the sh.exe/bash.exe and enable the legacy mode. This will fix the issue.
For more details see here: Alexpux/Cygwin#36

People have reported that the issue no longer exists in Insider build 16215.
