Initial Comment:
Anonymous message posted by rkfrancis1 at yahoo.com

I have cygwin installed which installs bash-completion by default, even though the .bashrc lines are commented out.  But anyway, if I am in bash and I run "tail -f file" and then hit Ctrl-c I am returned back to bash but I can no longer see what I am typing, even though it is there.

I tried defaulting my .bashrc on the theory it was my colors (DIR_COLORS) but that did not work.  I found that I could type the command "reset" and that would restore bash but that is not a workaround I was happy with.

When I uninstalled bash-completion this invisible character problem went away.
