mattkhan:
At this point in time, can MC seriously say it supports Linux without working fine on Wayland? Given MC says it is tested in Debian and given a default Debian stable setup, as far I know, uses Wayland, I would say no. I would say the same about the relatively poor behaviour on kde too mind you (albeit I'm biased cos I use kde).

JimH:
I don't think I said that. I suggested a test.

mattkhan:
I was more responding to the point about using X11 for an MC setup, I mean that might be fine as a suggestion for getting a more useable system but (imo) it's can only be considered a temporary workaround given the prevalence of Wayland these days.

Fwiw I did try a stock Debian stable setup recently and it still had a variety of glitches of the sort described in this thread.

Ultimately people who use Linux tend to use the flavour they like so MC has to work on that setup to be useable for them. NB: I have no idea how much work such an endeavour actually is or whether it's worth it to you.

To be fair, a lot of software still doesn't natively support Wayland. Most desktop environments (Xfce, MATE, etc.) still don't support it yet either. It's thanks to XWayland that a lot of software including MC runs as good as it does on Wayland.

MC doesn't actually support Wayland though it runs more-or-less fine besides UI weirdness and small issues like dialog boxes appearing very small via XWayland.

I use Manjaro/KDE and I know there is some interaction with MC and the search /tag text entry that is affected I think by this also. I would interested to pursue but I dont know I can use a X11 session?
