Hello! I have found and fixed a very serious bug in the Midnight Commander. It only affects the text edition. Error messages in MC use mi_getch() for the user input. However, that function was interpreting the result of get_event() incorrectly. Instead of ignoring an "empty event" mi_getch was ignoring keystrokes with code 0 that can be produced by pressing Ctrl-@. That means that under certain circumstances (most notably when called from VFS code) the error message would disapper immediately after it appeared. A new snapshot is as usually in http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/mc/ Take it, test it and report bugs. The problem with duplicate entries has not been fixed yet. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Pavel Roskin
