I do not use mintty (yet?), so it is not specific to it. I have seen it
when connecting remotely via ssh (for example, putty to localhost), as
well as when using the "prepared" cygwin.bat file to get cygwin in a
Windows console.
For me, it first happened when I moved from Cygwin 1.5 to 1.7. Note that
I was not one of the early adaptors, though, thus, I cannot say if this
was present in 1.7.1 from the beginning.
One thing I noticed:
Sometimes, when this happens, you have to wait some minutes. Afterwards,
the behaviour fixes itself.
I feel this is strange. Is it occurs to me very often I thought about a
local problem on my side, that's why I did not report it yet.

Yes, I can second this, too: You still can type and execute commands,
you just cannot see what you are typing.
Best regards,
Spiro.
