Description
unlike when built against ncurses, whenever there's things we have to wait for (for example changing dirs on an ftp connection), there's a "rotating wheel" ascii animation, however it moves across the screen instead of spinning in one place.
the animation consists of the characters \|/- and results in the following pattern being drawn over the column headers of the panels:
\|/-\|/-\|/-\|/-\|/-\|/-\|/-\|/-\|/-\|/-
to fix it, please provide me the following information
- where in the code this graphic gets drawn (i couldn't find it)
- and where it's supposed to be drawn to (in the version built against ncurses i couldnt spot it at all).
thanks!

indeed, there was a bug hidden. https://github.com/sabotage-linux/netbsd-curses/commit/4b9444ceaa728d27b119fcb09c9b9fefc14c7c1e
thanks for helping me find it!

i forgot to mention that the reason why i couldn't see this animation in the ncurses version at all is
because the code that makes the FTP connection, which is actually the slow thing, does not update the animation. it seems to be only called when the directory list is printed, which seems to happen so fast that the animation is not visible.

- Component changed from mc-core to mc-tty
So? Close as 'invalid'?

i'd like to but there's no button to do so, probably because i opened this as "task", not as bug.

Replying to foobarbaz:

OK.
but there's no button to do so, probably because i opened this as "task", not as bug.
No. You just don't have permission to close ticket.
Replying to foobarbaz:
rotate_dash() in src/filemanager/layout.c (and also find_rotate_dash() in src/filemanager/find.c for find file results).
The rotating dash is drawn in top-right corner.
