Is there any chance it depends on your terminal emulator capabilities? Do you run mc inside tmux or screen? Please report echo $TERM to know more about it

[gielie]

I tried both.

ash-4.3# echo $TERM
xterm-256color

after export TERM=xterm

ash-4.3# echo $TERM
xterm

when i do a TERM=screen-256color resulting in

ash-4.3# echo $TERM
screen-256color

i can use the wheel of the mouse, when i start with mc -x my mouse is working again.
there must be something in the .profile but i don't know what

I have 2 different synology's and the one i updated version of mc doesn't have mouse support, the older version of mc works fine. I also tried putty on pc and terminal on osx with the same result.

So you run screen, is that right? Have you without starting screen.
If mc -x works, trouble comes from your "terminal emulation" context: http://midnight-commander.org/wiki/doc/faq
Latest package runs properly with mouse support from a linux terminal emulator, so issue is not in package/application itself.

@gielie maybe this is related to the DSM version.
After update to DSM 6.1.6-15266 I can not reproduce this behavior.
I remember to have the mouse problem too, i.e. when clicking the mouse, some ESC-sequences appeared on the commandline, and the home key had a delay of about 2 seconds.

• May be related to the DSM 6.2 beta version?
• Or may be the evansport arch? (works for me now with DSM 6.1.6 on apollolake and armada370)

just found that the mouse works find with regular admin user. But when running with sudo mc the mouse does not work and the home key has the delay as mentioned above.
But strange is, that when running sudo mc I got a $ prompt instead of a # prompt on the mc command line. (On other systems there is a # prompt when running sudo mc).
@gielie please verify whether this behavior is the same for yours.

@gielie Please also compare with separate sudo -s and then use of mc.

After the latest DSM update (DSM 6.1.6-15266 Update 1) my mc is working normal, i can start mc with sudo or with -s -c all variations work normally
