Thanks Jon for the quick reply. I attached a new log file generated with an attempt to highlight - followed by the "hang".
Again, this worked PERFECTLY just yesterday. I ran a chkdsk on my system just about an hour ago, and while it repaired a few files, the problem remains.
I'll try your -noclipboard suggestion, but unfortunately for me, I do a lot of pasting back and forth between cygwin and native windows. I may have to go back to using the CMD based bash shell console window that is the cygwin default.
Not relishing that thought ...
Re-imaging my machine is not really an option either - that could set me back a "week".
