Originally created by @molszews on GitHub (Mar 5, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version: 0.9.433.0

Any other software?
Git for windows: 2.25.1 (picked cmd.exe instead of MinTTY as the terminal emulator for git-bash)
Git bash/uname: MINGW64_NT-10.0-19041 SPNTECHLAP16 3.0.7-338.x86_64 2019-11-21 23:07 UTC x86_64 Msys

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run git-bash through Windows Terminal
  2. Execute tool that produces ansi sequences, e.g. stern

Expected behavior

  1. Ansi/vt100 sequences are processed

Actual behavior

  1. Ansi/vt100 sequences are visible in terminal output

Comments

There are similar issues already here tracked, however, I'm not 100% sure if this is the same case (cygwin related issue #2837), as starting git-bash and running apps there works fine:
just git-bash

Problem is when the same git-bash is now started via Windows Terminal,
git-bash+win term

I'm fairly sure this is the same root cause as https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2837#issuecomment-533830745 (the cygwin/msys2 runtime (which are pretty much the same code) isn't acting the same as it would in standard conhost, even though WT goes to great lengths to ensure that conhost things work as well as possible.)

Would you mind sharing the output of echo $TERM inside and outside WT, but in git-bash?

Additionally, would you mind sharing your git-bash profile snippet (from profiles.json)?

both inside and outside WT, but in git-bash, echo $TERM results with cygwin

@DHowett-MSFT I've just managed to fix the problem by recompiling Git for windows using Cygwin 3.1.2 and essentially replacing the msys-2.0.dll (it is essentially the cygwin1.dll) binary - it works perfectly now!

FWIW this was reported for git gui (https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git/issues/738), and I can reproduce in conhost.

@patrikhuber commented on GitHub (Mar 14, 2020):

Hi @DHowett-MSFT,

According to the git-gui developer, @prati0100, this is a Windows Terminal issue, and not a git-gui issue.

I don't think my issue is related to https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2837#issuecomment-533830745, as I am using PowerShell 6 and not cygwin/msys2.

I am also not sure whether my issue is related to this issue which seems to be about git-bash, and I am using pwsh.

@DHowett-MSFT can you re-open this issue, or am I having a different bug and should I open a new issue?
As my issue seems neither a posh-git nor a git-gui issue and I am using PowerShell 6, the https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/ repository seems the right place for the bug I am encountering.

Thanks a lot.

Hey @patrikhuber! What you’re seeing is definitely different from this issue; mind filing a separate one?

I’ve seen some unusual behavior with git-gui where launching it (a graphical application) resets the output handle to not process VT until the shell steps in and fixes it, but I haven’t grabbed console host traces to see what exactly is happening.

(Incidentally: when I say it’s a Cygwin issue, it may still apply to git-gui even if you’re not knowingly using Cygwin. The runtime that it uses for being POSIXy cross-platform is derived from (or in some cases directly built from) Cygwin’s standard library 😄)

@DHowett-MSFT Sure! I've opened #4921.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

(Ah I think I see what you mean. Git-gui probably uses Cygwin/msys2, so this might be related even though I am using PowerShell and not git-bash.)

@molszews can you create a PR for https://github.com/git-for-windows/git that upgrades the libraries? Maybe that would get the ball rolling?
