With 4.8.15 version I don't see such behaviour. Everything is OK.

I can. The bad commit is [ee6dd89deb5bbe28e60d5d7634d4c84b3cdd947e] (#3599).
Unfortunately, patch in #3611 doesn't fix this bug.

Oops, sorry. It does.

[gonzo_s]

Ok, thank you. Gonna try it out.

[gonzo_s]

Yes patch in #3611 fixes the problem! Thank you.

For anyone who desires to fix this on the fly: simply apply the patch to your /usr/lib/mc/fish/ls
You can take it from the release, patch it and replace the file if you like.
