editing file with character \x80 crashes
Last modified: 2013-07-02 19:14:24 EDT
Description of problem: Pressing enter just after an \x80 character in the editor causes Segmentation fault. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version : 4.6.1a Release : 4.FC4 How reproducible: Create a sample file with character \x80, open it in the editor and press enter after the \Ã80 character. Steps to Reproduce: 1. perl -e 'print "text = \"\x80\";\n";' > sample 2. In mc press F4 on the sample file to edit. 3. Position to the second quotation mark and press enter. Actual results: Segmentation fault Expected results: The edited line should be broken into two lines. The \x80 should be the last character of the original line and with the second quotation mark a new line should be started. Additional info: Probably the problem is related to some UTF patch applied by Fedora developers (see the external bug reference link).

I successfully reproduced it. This seems to be fixed by the latest rawhide mc, so I'll release updates soon. I'll close this after the update is released. Thanks.
From User-Agent: XML-RPC mc-4.6.1a-5.fc4 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
