I suspect this upstream report matches your problem. http://midnight-commander.org/ticket/2633 When reporting, please include details such as: 1. which shell you are using (does this happen for both sh and csh), 2. Which terminal you are using (xterm in X11 or local console). Does it affect both? 3. whether you are using SLANG or NCURSES option when building mc (does it affect both?), 4. whether you are having this problem as the root user or a non-privileged user. I have heard report of this problem, and seen it myself once upon a time, but it is not always easy to replicate. This problem was resolved once before, but the code being fixed by a local patch in our ports tree was changed. The patch needs to be fixed. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/misc/mc/files/patch-lib_tty_tty-ncurses.c?view=log Regards, Ben > -- -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
