I'm not sure if I should tackle this problem here, but here it goes.
Few days ago I installed Arch, and I'm pretty happy with it. It works lean & clean, but there are still some issues that irritate me. One of these is MC, which acts kind of odd.
When I enter a directory containing some "special" characters in it's name (eg. "directory_name_has_underscores") it messes MC's view up displaying a warning message saying: "Cannot change to: /prefix/directory_name_has_underscores". However, I can browse through the (with disorted view) directory's contents, until I do Ctrl+O, and return. If I do that I get back to the /prefix/, i.e. the place, just before entering the directory "directory_name_has_underscores".
I used Slackware before, and haven't experienced any problems back then.

It needs a patch since a recent bash update. I would suggest enabling the community repository in pacman.conf and installing mc-utf8 instead, which (a) has been patched already and (b) works with utf8.

Thanks for the quick reply. I grabbed the mc-utf8 update. It works now!
