Hi Nickolai,
Sorry to hear of your troubles with pre3. I don't currently
have access to a Cygwin environment (I assume that's how you are running
X on top of Windows). I will look at it as soon as possible, or
hopefully another developer with immediate access can duplicate the
issue.
If you could please try version 1.0.9 and report whether it experiences
similar problems, it would be very helpful to us. Could
you also let us know:
Do other text based editors (vim, emacs if installed, jed) work
properly?
What is your $TERM variable set to?

I have taken your suggestion and modified the titlebar of the homepage
to include the most recent development release, thank you for the
suggestion.

To be honest this is the first report I've heard of people having issues
with display. I'm currently running pre3 and it has no display problems
whatsoever under Linux or FreeBSD. I hope this is a minor issue with
Cygwin which we can have solved shortly. Thank you for the report and
with your assistance I think we should be able to get this fixed.
