Just curious whether the silence on this is because no one else
is experiencing these symptoms (which gives me hope that they've
been fixed and will eventually trickle down to Cygwin) or whether
people are seeing the same thing and it just doesn't bother them.
I can certainly live with typing the commands for run, step, and
continue and using the mouse for "next," but it would be nicer if I
could use either the gud interaction buffer or the graphical buttons.
