I do this to work around that (plus mouse support is irritating anyway): tglase@tglase:~ $ fgrep -B1 mc.distrib /var/lib/dpkg/info/mirabilos-support.preinst dpkg-divert --package mirabilos-support \ --divert /usr/bin/mc.distrib --rename /usr/bin/mc tglase@tglase:~ $ cat /usr/bin/mc #!/bin/mksh-static #- # Wrapper to forcibly disable mouse support, as this fills # syslog at several dozen MiB/s rate when gpm is already # used by some other instance, or when logging in via ssh. exec -a "$0" -- /usr/bin/mc.distrib -d "$@" HTH & HAND, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg ** Mit der tarent Academy bieten wir auch Trainings und Schulungen in den Bereichen Softwareentwicklung, Agiles Arbeiten und Zukunftstechnologien an.

How exactly can one reproduce it? I've reproduced this on a fairly clean amd64 VM: 1) apt-get install screen mc gpm 2) login on tty1 3) run: screen mc -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Jakub, I'd like to reproduce the problem but nothing like this is happening here in `screen` or `tmux` (I don't have package gpm installed). Do you think it might be a regression? Did it work for you before (which version)? -- Regards, Dmitry Smirnov. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Running mc under screen is not something I do often, so it might have been broken for a while. I tested it in a few chroots I had at hand: - works in wheezy (3:4.8.3-10); - broken in jessie (3:4.8.11-1) and unstable (3:4.8.12-1). -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

There were probably related upstream change in 4.8.7: http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3108 May be you could discuss the matter with upstream? It would be very helpful if you could. I can't communicate this problem with them as I don't understand it... -- All the best, Dmitry Smirnov GPG key : 4096R/53968D1B signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
