Re: BUG: terminal vim 9.0.1506 x64 window 10

Which program do you mean when you say the good-old windows console and the newer windows terminal?

Others are reporting that vim does not work correctly in the current windows terminal.  I just read in the JPSoft forum that the screen is scrambled upon exiting vim when called from windows terminal or cmd.exe.  However, this sounds like a bug I reported ~2 yrs ago that was fixed relatively quickly.

I don't know the "take command". Is this a kind of shell? Or is it
like a console window, that you start Vim in?

There is no good standard terminal on MS-Windows, all off them have
their individual issues. We try to support at least the good-old
Windows console and the newer Windows Terminal, since these are widely
used. Making it work with all kind of alternatives is a struggle. And
when you run Vim, the extra features that the alternative offers are
usually irrelevant. Please consider using a standard terminal to run
Vim in. Otherwise, report the problem to JPSoft. Since Vim works fine
in a standard terminal, the problem very likely is on their side.
