MC in ROXTerm – odd behavior (antiX 19, 64-bit, testing)

[Member sybok]

Hi,

after a rather recent update (at most couple of weeks), I have noticed a strange behavior of midnight commander (MC) in ROXTerm, desktop fluxbox in my antiX 19, 64-bit testing.

When I mouse click using left-button (or the middle one) in the panel ‘Name/Size/Modify time’ selection to affect sorting of the items, it has no effect except for ‘#’ appearing after a double click in the command-line at the bottom of the MC’s screen.
Expected behavior is that a single click will modify the sort immediately.

I have F10 keyboard shortcut disabled and that’s probably all I have modified in the profile.
Surprisingly, lxterminal (0.3.2-1+b1) is NOT affected.

I have tried to reinstall (and then purge) both MC and ROXTerm but it was of no help, the issue persists.

I know I can explicitly modify the sort order in left/right panel but that is much more clicks and that I find annoying.

Any ideas?

Comment: If I open ROXTerm, ssh into another PC and open MC in there, it behaves as expected.
