Package: mc
Version: 1:4.6.2~pre1-5
Severity: normal
Start 'mcedit borked_mcedit.txt' (attached) in 'gnome-terminal'. The
cursor is a white square over the letter 'a'. Press down arrow twice,
the cursor vanishes. Keep pressing down arrow and the cursor reappears
over the 'f'.
In a console, (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc.), the result is different. The
cursor starts as a white underline, and changes to a light blue
underline when over leading whitespace. The light blue cursor against
the dark blue background is not invisible, but is distinctly less
visible.
More testing, summarized in a (monospace font) table:
cursor is...
normal color changing invisible

(Maybe the invisible cursor is some odd 'gnome-terminal' setting
on my system, or a bug. But the color changing occurs in several
terminals.)
Hope this helps...
