OK, at least it's reproducible by one more person :)

For various usability reasons (tabs being the biggest I think), I'm
using ConEmu (https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu) and running bash
directly from it. I am not sure if it's even possible to use mintty -
it just might run console -> mintty -> bash, so might present the same
issue - but will take a look at that to confirm.
However, assuming it is not possible to run mintty under ConEmu and
short of downsizing the window, do you know of any solutions /
workarounds I have with the default console that I can try?
