My first email had a cygcheck and the following steps to reproduce the symptoms.
 
I just noticed the following with Cygwin 1.7, and ssh (and vi in this example), on Vista Business SP2.
 
If I (1) open a bash cygwin window from the normal installed shortcut (cmd.exe).
 
(2) drag the bottom edge of the window down to enlarge it.
 
(3) ssh localhost (or to another host).
 
(4) edit a file with vi.
 
Then only a portion of the window is used, the size of the original window before enlarging it.
 
If I (5) exit vi, and exit the ssh session.
 
(6) ssh localhost (or to another host).
 
(7) edit a file with vi.
 
Then the entire window is used for editing.
 
Thanks,
 
...Karl
