So you're saying that you fire up your pc's cygwin x server then
these two scenarios

a) ssh with cygwin command line ssh -X
echo $DISPLAY on the remote server indicates
127.0.0.1:something
fire up GUI installer
it displays on your pc
backspace works fine in the gui program

b) ssh with putty using X11 fwding enabled
echo $DISPLAY on the remote server indicates
127.0.0.1:something
fire up the GUI installer
it displays on your pc
backspace doesn't work in the gui program


Is this an accurate summary of your symptoms?

I'm straining to figure out how the choice of ssh client can impact
backspace processing in an X11 program.


That is 100% correct.

And may I add then, 100% bizarre. Wish I had a good answer for ya.

Logging in with the same user in both situations? It'd be
interesting to compare ssh -v output and putty trace output for both
to see what is different in the connection negotiation.
