Hi, > setterm -background blue I tried it now, before staring mc ; both from bash and tcshell. I have the same problem when editing text file, source code file ("c" programs), etc. Sorry. I did not have this before, on previous distros.
The solution I am using is this: 1) simply remove the mc from f9. 2) install mc-4.6.1a-49.20070604cvs.fc8.x86_64.rpm This workaround solved the problem. I hope that somebody will try F9 with "yum install mc" and say if he had the same problem, and I hope that it will be solved.
