Re: [Bug] C-n keybinding doesn't work with GNU texinfo (Windows 6.1.7601 64bit)

Here are steps to reproduce the problem.
1. Open cygwin terminal.
2. Type "info info" to display info page about GNU texinfo.
3. Press C-n (CTRL + n) to move the cursor

Expected result: C-n key combination moves the cursor one line down.

Actual result: An error message about unknown command is displayed.
"Unknown command (C-n)."

This malicious behavior isn't reproducible on Ubuntu version of GNU
texinfo. Tested on 14.04.1 with latest updates.

This is actually an upstream bug, which was fixed almost a year ago:


http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/info/infomap.c?root=texinfo&r1=5338&r2=5387

The fix is trivial and was incorporated into the Ubuntu package. Unfortunately, Cygwin's Texinfo package currently lacks a maintainer.
