Probably, though not right now. I can of course
give straces or something, if that helps.

As I already wrote… let me just create a new account
for reproducing it… reproducers are, on Debian sid/amd64:

$ mc
$ cd /sftp://localhost                                                                                        [|]

This works. Now F10 (or Esc+0) and…

$ touch .ssh/config
$ mc
$ cd /sftp://localhost                                                                                        [|]

╔═════════════════════════════════════════ Error ═════════════════════════════════════════╗
║                                                                                         ║

Just to be on the safe side, I did:

$ rm -rf .config/mc .local/share/mc .cache/mc

(I have some mc baseline config in /etc/skel/ normally.)

This still exhibits the issue though with single instead
of double lines box drawing characters.

In the end, I will wish to use mc with a .ssh/config file
containing entries such as these:

-----cutting here may damage your screen surface-----
Host vm
 HostKeyAlias vm.invalid.mirbsd.org
 Hostname 127.0.0.1
 Port 2222
 User tg

Host aranymN

Host *
 HashKnownHosts no
 ControlPath /run/.tglase/ctl.%r@%h:%p
-----cutting here may damage your screen surface-----

Note these are just examples and parts of my full SSH config,
but these are disclosable parts.
