The problem you're describing was both recently introduce and fixed. So I would recommend using the v1.1 release of SyncTERM anyway, but if you do use the "latest and greatest" code from Git, you won't have that particular issue either (the v1.2alpha does have other issues however). So I recommend using v1.1 for now.
