"mourik jan c heupink"
Under my normal user, I get the boxes in mc drawn with line characters; ie, they are lines. Under any other user they show weird, with the letter "â" instead of the lines.
I can't find what change I did to my normal user to get that. Any ideas? Eeee, need more info, but that happened to me working remotely with putty, you should set the character code to UTF8
I have the same problem. Unable to find a setting that made both yast and mc happy.
This makes mc work for me: type "export LANG=C" before running mc. (but it breaks the display of lines in yast ...)
If you find a setting that works for both I'd like to know...
I had the same problem when I would run mc from within an "aterm" terminal. Returned to "xterm" and problem disappeared. I think it has to with the terminal's interpretation of the current language characterset? I am not sure how to investigate further or fix but; my short term solution was that I found that running 'mc -a' gave me a workable loadup. Hope this helps, Paul.
