I'm using Github and `Git bash` on my Windows PC (running `XP`).

On Ubuuntu I'm happyily using `git grep` to plough through my code, but every time I call something like:

```
git grep "some text in my repo"

```

on Windows I get the results and afterwards I'm stuck with the bash window showing all kind of things `[END], ~, [RETURN]...` whenever I try to enter something.

**Question:**  

What else besides `CTRL+R, CTRL+Q, FN+END, Q, ESC` can I try to not having to force-close and reopen git:bash in order to continue to work.

Thanks! 

**EDIT:**  

This is what I mean:

As soon as I start typing, the [END] string re-appears (or 50 lines `~`) and I cannot write any command on Git, because whatever is in the way swallows half of what I'm typing.... nice description...
