Description Inger Karin Haarbye 2002-06-16 22:05:20 UTC 
Description of Problem:

Mila beta2:  mc looks very weird, with lots of wrong characters. When trying to
edit a file, mcedit segfaults.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mc-4.5.55-6

How Reproducible:
all the time - I think...

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  from console run mc
2.  trying to edit a file with F4 or "mcedit"
3. 

Actual Results:
mc has funny characters and some double/extra characters. mcedit segfaults.

Expected Results:


Additional Information:
Comment 1 Inger Karin Haarbye 2002-07-04 10:19:11 UTC 
The bug is still present in Limbo - makes it impossible to use mc.
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-07-04 16:17:53 UTC 
Most likely mc never worked in multibyte locales and breaks in UTF-8. You might
try LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 and see if the bug goes away.
Comment 3 Inger Karin Haarbye 2002-07-04 16:28:09 UTC 
The characters look OK, but copying in mc (F5) segfaults and mcedit (or F4) hangs still with 
LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1.
Comment 4 Inger Karin Haarbye 2002-07-30 20:42:54 UTC 
Limbo2 RedHat 7.3.93: Copying is working, but mcedit (and F4) is not working 
and causes the console to hang.
