Description Kjartan Maraas 1999-09-17 04:41:18 EDT

I use mc quite a lot and have become used to doing ctrl+o
to see the output of commands etc. In lorax-6.0.55 the
screen seems to get blanked out when I do ctrl+o. If I use
shift+pgup I can see the text from earlier output but the
text behind the current screen is blanked out.

I've tried this on both gnome-terminal and xterm with the
same result.

Cheers

Fixed. Bug in gnome-libs(zvt). Fixed in gnome-libs-1.0.18 i think.
