Midnight Commander subshell doesn't echo input

[mbirth]

When running mc from fish (which then spawns a bash subshell), I can't see my input on the subshell (Ctrl-O). Output from commands is shown, only my input is not echoed. After doing "reset", my input is echoed again.

have you tried to redefine SHELL variable before calling mc?

set SHELL /bin/bash
mc

[mbirth]

This is what I do - otherwise there's no subshell:

function mc -d "Midnight Commander"
    set old_shell $SHELL
    set SHELL /bin/bash
    command /usr/bin/mc
    set SHELL $old_shell
end

Seems to be a problem with the set command? The command set TERM xterm-color; ssh example.org also makes the local echo hidden.

Don't think it is a problem with with 'set'. Looks more like the issue reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fish/+bug/318934

I'm facing the same problem. Trying to write a function which does ssh. After I login, 'stty sane' solves the problem.

@mbirth adityagodbole@9d229cd should fix this. At least, it fixed my ssh problem.

@adityagodbole Thanks a lot! Your little fix did the trick.

@fish-shell Please disable restoring the mode as @adityagodbole did. (Or find the reason it breaks the local echo and fix it. ;-)
