Package: mc
Version: 3:4.8.10-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   When I run mcedit as root in a console or in an xterm in X,
I can't get the cursor to move past the third line with the
down arrow. If I press the down arrow and Ctrl or the Alt key
together, the cursor moves fine. It also works by just pressing
return. I've downgraded to version 4.7.0.9-1 which does not
have this problem.

   I can't really tell when this started happening, but have
recently installed the dwm window manager which uses Ctrl and
the Alt keys for movement between windows, and the problem
started happening when I started using it together with mcedit.
But I don't usually run X as root ( I just ran it as root to
check if the problem existed ). The problem does not exist when
I use mc as non-root user, but I usually use it as root on the
console.

Closing as invalid.

I agree that auto save settings is a poor default so I'm considering
to discuss this matter with upstream or to override it. For now you
can use [Options] --> [Configuration] --> [Auto save setup] to control
this behaviour.
