Nothing buggy nor broken, just inconvenient.

I wasn't thinking mostly of konsole, as I use gnome preferably. In the
gnome terminal, it has happened to me that some function keys are
intercepted by the terminal instead of doing whatever mc function I wanted
to do. I tried konsole years ago and I also had problems.

Doesn't happen to me here, xterm choice of fonts are very readable.
