mcedit can not show "/dev/null"

[fragzone]

I try to copy this code to mcedit:

#!/bin/bash

wget -O /dev/null -o /dev/null "url"

mcedit shows only:

#!/bin/bash

wget -O -o "url"

System: debian stable
Windows / Putty

Replying to fragzone:

$ slocate libastal.so

Cannot reproduce on system other than Debian.
Current mc version is 4.8.20.
Please try the resent version or file a bug in Debian bugzilla.

I find the issue.

mcedit use for "/dev/null" a color, that "putty" translate in same color like background color.

Putty use ANSI-Colours. The blue from "/dev/null" is only a little bit different from background blue.
For ANSI 256 Colors is this blue same same.

You can change the special color from "/dev/null" to a brighter blue.

I can reproduce with 4.8.20 (compiled by myself) on Ubuntu Artful, in gnome-terminal, with TERM=xterm, and of course mc's default skin. With TERM=xterm-256color it's a slightly different shade of blue.
