There is a broken patch in the misc/mc port named patch-lib__tty__win.c.
Its purpose was to be a compatibility fix for a missing feature of
freebsd xterm, but in its current form it causes console text to be
cleared (scrolled off-screen) when you press ctrl+o to view it. This is
a big annoyance when one wants to see the output of a command.
The patch was fine before, but on Sep 23, along with the 4.8.13 update,
one part of its two paired-up patch blocks was removed, possibly as an
oversight (r369133,
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=369133 ). One
month later, a bugreport was submitted describing what happened and how
to fix it (#194627,
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194627 ). Yet another
month later, the port's maintainer has abandoned(?) it and reset the
'maintainer' to ports@.
I would like to request that this problem be finally resolved. The fix
is to either apply the patch shown in the bugreport, or, equivalently,
revert to r335823 and adjust all line numbers by -1 to make it apply
cleanly.
