emerged mc, did not start X, just started mc. Ctrl-O to see the black screen, click left mouse and drag to select text - mouse do not move. Release mouse, cursor jumps to new position, but text is not selected and not in clipboard. run mc under terminal on X, Ctrl-O to see the black screen, click left mouse and drag to select text - mouse selects the text, text could be pasted by middle mouse click. kill X, run mc on text screen, the proble is back again. Run 'TERM=xrvt mc' the mouse can select text on the text screen (but command line is on top of previus text and so as it is bad terminal type) I just tested thet only on framebuffer (as i use more lines/char per line and nice tuxes on start) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mc in text mode 2. Ctrl+O to subshell 3. Try select anything with mouse Actual Results: mouse do not select anything Expected Results: mouse works like without mc (selects, paste ...)
edit summary
I think this is upstream problem, but mc maintainers may know better
