I had this problem when scrolling back to look at long steams of output 
from tomcat.  Then I'd hit return and instead of returning the view to 
the cursor, it would move the cursor up to the location I was viewing 
(on top of the output text).

I think this is a bug/limitation of the windows console and not a cygwin 
problem.  I changed to rxvt, and in addition to getting rid of that 
problem, I get better terminal emulation on some of the systems I ssh to.
