when you try to select the current path in mc using shift+selection in a xterm you often end up with a buffer that contains a '-' at the beginning or end of the path. to prevent this behaviour i created a patch and a r4 for app-misc/mc that replaces the decoration with a single blank before and after the path Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.select a path using shift+select in xterm 2.paste that path elsewhere using middleclick Actual Results: -/usr/portage/-- Expected Results: /usr/portage first submission to gentoo repository. tested on x86 and against 4.6.1-r3 please point out what i could have done better thanx
Created attachment 116599 [details] patched ebuild patched ebuild, that includes the c-patch into the build process
Created attachment 116600 [details] enhancement to screen.c introduces a local int 'len', stores the strlen of the current path in this variable and puts to whitespaces on the panel, right before and right after the path. should end in files subfolder
Please don't file ebuild bugs in the Developer Relations Product. They belong in the Gentoo Linux product instead.
