Package: mc
Version: 3:4.8.31-1~bpo12+1
Followup-For: Bug #725691
Thanks for taking the time to look into this report.
The issue is not yet fully resolved, but mcedit behaves much better now.
It is a nuisance now rather than hindering work to be done.
GPM is running

see screenshot for process environment
Steps to reproduce (for me):
- ceate a tmp.txt containing some lines of text
- run mc
- navigate to the directory holding tmp.txt
- hit F4 on the file
- notice how it immediately displays the file content
- exit the editor
- do NOT yet exit mc
- type "mcedit tmp.txt" into to mc command line, usually below the file
manager panels
- notice how tmp.txt opens for editing but the file content is NOT yet
displayed (only a blue surface)
- hit any key, say CURSOR-DOWN
- notice how the file content is suddenly displayed
After that mcedit seems to now behave quite normal as far as I can tell,
so the issue is better but not yet fully resolved.
Thanks,
Karsten
