Re: Dragging from explorer to cygwin terminal is not putting the path into the terminal

That's interesting.  Well my sync settings already seems to be off, but
when I was having issues, it was working just like you described.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to create a new Mintty issue or wait for
Thomas to reply.
1. Please note that this list has a no-top-posting policy. (Respond below the text you're referring to.)
2. Latest comments are suggesting this may not be a mintty issue.
3. I can only reply if there is a clear question or issue presented. Even though I noticed the issue once myself, there is still no "reproducible test case".

I have the same problem with 3.0.0.

Sorry for slowly dripping out information (I promise that's not my
intent),
but I will say, as soon as I created this user account on windows, I had
copy and paste issues that were outside of cygwin.  I recall copying text
from firefox and not being able to paste it into windows explorer and
vice
versa (these are contrived examples.  I can't remember what the exact
problems were, but they were similar to this).  It seemed very random,
though.  Like some copy/paste worked, and some did not.  After running
sfc
/scannow and restarting twice, the problem seems to have gone away
completely.

I'm not sure if that's
to this problem (except that it could point
out a borked windows install).

I encountered strange clipboard problems as a result of fiddling with
the Clipboard Settings in Win10.

When I turned on "Sync across devices", after a "Copy to clipboard"
operation, sometimes the "Paste from clipboard" operation pasted
nothing or the previous clipboard content. A few moments later,
another "Paste" would paste the content of the most recent "Copy". It
seems as though the content of the clipboard was not updated after a
Copy operation until a Sync to cloud was performed, with the timing
being dependant on WiFi, internet and cloud speeds and latency.

I did not observe any difference in "Drag and Drop" behaviour with
this setting, but I almost exclusively use keyboard Copy and Paste
instead of mouse Drop and Drag.
