It turns out that these files have 2 or more links pointing to them (see the ""nlink"" column in the screenshot). I don't know why these files have 2 links. It happens to be an NTFS partition. Maybe it's not uncommon there to find such things. Now, look at filehighlight.ini: https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/blob/master/misc/filehighlight.ini ""[hardlink]"" comes before ""[graph]"", which is why (I think) it gets precedence. So I think we should move the [hardlink] section to the bottom of the file. Why? It demands too much cognitive effort of the user to have colors serve two different purposes (indicating either filesystem-type or application-type). Unless hardlinks are shown in *very* distinctive colors (something no default skin does), common users won't ""get"" them.
