one issue, that I keep getting intermittently and which I now had time to look into. I did a search in bugzilla, but found nothing relevant, maybe because of the wrong keywords...
On the ttys (CRTL+ALT+1 to 6, I forgot the exact name) the german umlauts öÖüÜäÄ are displayed wrong, when I hit those keys. Seems like two characters each are displayed, as I end up with 'undeletable' characters on the prompt: I type in three ä's, which get displayed as six characters. I can press delete more three times, but only three characters are getting deleted. But those visible are not being 'used', I can type in 'ls' after them and ls is being called.
I have "char" display problems on tty1, but not 2-6, and solution is to issue "unicode_start" and the display is corrected. Where I first noticed was the box chars for mc. Note that I do not see the problem in tty2-6.
I rarely login on tty1. MC most often goes on tty2 here. The problem occurs here on many 13.1 and Factory installations, but far from all, and the same problem occurs on Mageia and Fedora latest and devel. I did find Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889710 which makes me sense this is a combination of upstream and distro specific tweaking of systemd and "gettys". I workaround it with a miniscript in /usr/local/bin mc1 to call unicode_start before running MC. What the differences could be on individual installations so as to cause it on some but not others is perplexing, but I've also noticed a likely related problem. In X, copy with edit is always shift-F5 and move/rename with edit is always shift-F6. On the ttys this used to always not be the case, where instead copy with edit has been shift-F3 and move/rename with edit has been shift-F4. Since 13.1 devel period or maybe before, it has often been the case that the match to X occurs, but again, there's no apparent pattern to which do and which do not. I keep meaning to try setting RUN_PARALLEL="no" in /etc/sysconfig/boot to see if it changes the behavior in any given installation, but so far never seem to be able to remember when time permits. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
