bug in linux terminal with mc and nano

Open rofl0r opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

  • open a linux terminal
  • run midnight commander
  • in midnight commander, run nano inexistant_file
  • nano opens, close it with CTRL-X now you get a black screen with a blinking cursor. the cursor transformed from previously _ to [] style, i.e. it looks like an insert-mode cursor.
  • quit mc py pressing F10. the cursor still is [], and the terminal state is messed up. text you enter is not visible. need to type reset to get the terminal back into a usable state.

the same happens after opening/closing hexedit(0r), so it's probably not nano's fault.
