editor_return_does_auto_indent= reversed on 0/1 conversion in ini file to false/true

[Felix Miata via mc-devel]

To reproduce:
>From menu, save settings, where ini last saved quite some time ago contained 0s
for false and 1s for true, including:

editor_return_does_auto_indent=0

Actual behavior:

editor_return_does_auto_indent=true

Expected behavior:

editor_return_does_auto_indent=false

This was causing errant copy/paste into mcedit behavior reported here:

I went there. I saw nothing obviously having anything to do with MC on home page
or on applications page. MC definitely doesn't require anything to do with 
Gnome.
What is "tagging"? How about providing some useful instruction for people who 
have
only ever used mailing lists for GNU/Linux app support?

corruption on vttys

[Felix Miata via mc-devel]

Is this a known problem? Block characters following funzip (7) and 
liblapadk.so.3
(3 & 5) do not belong there. I see this quiet commonly on return to a vtty 
running
mc from some other vtty login. Ctrl-O Ctrl-O clears them away.

This has been going on for several releases across various distros. This
particular screenshot is from 4.8.24 on openSUSE 15.2, but I've seen it on 
Debian
and Fedora too.

displays bad regular file timestamps on entry to .bz2 file & preserves the errors on copy out

[Felix Miata via mc-devel]

It's only happened on this one so far that I can remember:

Others I've checked from mozilla.org are handled normally.

Tar has no such problem.

Is this a known issue? I've not been able to find anything on point among 
tickets
on https://midnight-commander.org/

random "characters" in filename field

[Felix Miata via mc-devel]

http://fm.no-ip.com/Files/Pix/Tmp/mcCorruption.jpg

In this image they are drawn to the right of icewm session (7 on line 25) and 
rdoc
(8 on line 40). This framebuffer screen happens to be 180x56 (1440x900). Font is
256char 8x16 font from file /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/default8x16.gz.

This is v4.8.22 on openSUSE 15.1, but I've been seeing these spurious characters
at random following fullscreen redraws going back many releases and across
different distros.

This last instance captured for this screenshot resulted following this key 
sequence:

F3
ESC
ESC

on the plain text file default-xsession.desktop, and is repeatable, as is:

F3
F10

NAICT, those "random" characters are drawn in the same location drawn while the
file was in view.

AFAICT, external is a misfeature of .deb mc packages, one of the most annoying
things about using Knoppix (pause after run off in mc being the other). Fedora
and openSUSE rpms AFAICR are always mcedit.
