Description Marcin Mirosław 2012-03-30 10:09:51 UTC
Much time has passed since the last time I found something interesting in mc;)
When i run mcdiff and one of files is non existent (or not readable) then diff command throws message error and almost in the same moment midnigh commander clears error message from diff. So i can see message error only for a very short moment and it is cleared.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
I can't see what did wrong.

Expected Results:  
I'd like to see why i can't see diff beetwen files.

I tried on TERM=xterm and TERM=screen (tmux).
