As a workaround, just typing "resize" should fix that. If you happen to see the problem again, it's worth a moment to verify. fwiw, I do this: resize -s 40 80 to get a 40x80 screen (works _all_ the time :-) After further experimentation I discovered the problem only arises when I use the -e parameter to xterm to run MC directly. When I do that i.e. xterm -e mc , the mouse doesn't work. Right now I am working around that by using urxvt and avoiding xterm entirely when I need to use the -e parameter. I have also tried the wrappers uxterm and lxterm and both render the mouse inoperable when I use the -e parameter. I still am not sure what the problem is...why would urxvt not suffer from it ?

MC in console
MC in the console is displaying garbage characters instead of line drawing in my Debian Squeeze . I use UTF8 on this machine-could that be the problem?

m-c acting differently under differnt wm's
I have been having problems lately getting M-C to look the same under 2 different window managers. This is MC under Icewm: http://imagebin.ca/view/Cj7Or3.html and this is MC under fluxbox http://imagebin.ca/view/hHK3vAx.html Both wm's call it the same way: urxvt -geometry 200x50 -e /usr/bin/mc In addition to the overwriting at the top of the directory sometime there is blank space underneath MC- I suspect this is Fluxbox's fault. But it is the messed up directory display that concerns me. Any ideas anyone ? Thanks -- Frankbea...@videotron.ca ___ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
Loading MC into a term
Hi all I am having trouble getting MC to load into a term nicely. I usually run a script in my home directory along the lines of rxvt -e /usr/bin/mc But this rsults in MC being smaller than the term window.
