cygwin terminal problems

[I assume terminal emulation is all done in cygwin1.dll, so this 
is the right mailing list?]

Whereas the cygwin terminal (in the Windows DOS box) normally 
does not respond to Report Cursor Position (ESC [ 6 n) at all, 
the CYGWIN=tty configured terminal does respond, but only after 
the next keyboard input. This is wrong and confuses programs that 
try to use this feature; response should be immediate.

By the way, it was recently discussed to introduce a bugzilla for 
setup.exe; is there any such thing for cygwin1.dll or is it all 
just on this mailing list?
I had previously reported other bugs and I have no idea if anyone 
is even aware of them.

Kind regards,
Thomas Wolff
