[FIXED] git bash terminal in eclipse truncates text until eclipse window resize

Issue

Using eclipse on windows, when I start a git bash terminal (or cygwin) and eclipse is maximized to fill the screen, the text in the terminal is cut off after 80 characters, as shown below...

If i then resize eclipse, the text eventually expands to fill the entire width of the terminal window...

Not sure if this is an eclipse issue or git bash/cygwin issue, but I don't have this issue when running git bash outside of eclipse.

This may be related to the version of eclipse I was using. The issue was in eclipse 2021-06. I've just installed 2022-03 (running with java 13) and this issue doesn't appear to be happening.

Solution

That was reported in issue 514287 "Terminal cuts commands at 80 character".

However, issue like 573730 "Turn on ConPTY as default PTY in Windows" might have helped and resolved this, with terminal 10.6.0.
