[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#725691: mc: erratic behaviour of mcedit as subprocess of mc -- bug still there

[Karsten Hilbert]

Dmitry,

many thanks for looking into this issue.

> I wonder whether it has anything to do with framebuffer console

If it helps: Yes, I do run mc on the intel 915 framebuffer
console and, yes, I do see this bug on both console 1 and
ttys 2-6.

> and what is the value of $TERM ?

This is from within mcedit (not started under mc and thus not
showing strange behaviour) running on tty2 (console 2) by way
of ALT-U and saying "echo $TERM":

	linux

On a fresh console just "echo $TERM": same thing ("linux").

Starting mc, then calling mcedit (which are the circumstances
showing the erratic behaviour), then doing ALT-U, "echo
$TERM", again show "linux" as result.

Doing "echo $TERM" from the mc command prompt does not show
_any_ setting for TERM, btw.
