I do, and it's the same as it's always been for me: block inverse, not
"obscuring" in any way.  Soren, do you have whacked-out colors set up or a goofy
PS1 or something?  I've got this:

PS1=$'\\[\\033]0;\\w\\007\n\\033[32m\\]\\u@\\h \\[\\033[33m\\w\\033[0m\\]\n$ '

and that gives me


MyLogin AT MyComputerName ~
$ _


where "MyLogin AT MyComputerName" is green, "~" is a sickly yellow, "$" is black,
and the "_" is really a block cursor that's black and inverses the character
under it.  Screen background is white.  Works like a charm, and I believe it's
the Cygwin-installed default.
