[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#564073: mc: Strange characters in column headings in German locale

[Andreas Tille]

Package: mc
Version: 3:4.7.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in German locale the headline of the Name column starts with the string
"'m" in the left panel and "'n" in the right panel.  That's not a big
problem but there is a chance that some string overflow might cause this
problem and thus I'd recommend locking for this problem.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining mc

      Andreas.
