Description
hi
if i use mc inside of screen i get "weird" images. it seems that mc does not color to the end of the line, but only until it reaches the last character per line.
viewer/editor behave the same.
outside of screen everything looks OK.
installed version: mc-4.8.24-4.fc32.x86_64 under fedora 32
attached are three screenshot:
outside_screen.png which is OK
inside_mc.png which is NOT OK. Mind the top line.
inside_screen_viewer.png which is not OK. from inside the viewer.

what about TERM?
echo $TERM
try: export TERM=screen-256color
or export TERM=xterm
inside screen session

inside and outside of screen i have
[cheese@hp SPECS]$ echo $TERM
xterm which leads to the artifacts.
will create some screenshots with all combinations later today.

Bottom line:
A proper workaround might be to set screen-256color from screenrc

thanks for sending me in the right direction. i had a hard setting of TERM=xterm in my bashrc, which broke inside screen. the reason for that crude setting was that 256-color did not match the "correct" colors in mc. eg.: blue in 256-color was not the same blue. seems to fixed in fresher fedoras.
