[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#703577: screen goes black when starting mcedit from command line

[Dmitry Borisyuk]

Package: mc
Version: 3:4.7.0.9-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

if I start mcedit from command line, and mc is already running,
the screen becomes black and no text is visible.
I can see only top and bottom lines (status and hints).
Then, if I press any arrow key, the text become visible and everything is OK.

To reproduce:

$ mc
$ mcedit ~/.mc/ini
