4011	"when mc is in ""ascii"" mode it still launches mcedit in extended mode"	jetpilot		"on a SSH connection (identified by e.g. SSH_CLIENT variable beeing set to some IP) i have to use the ""-a"" option on mc for a useable window and dialog layout. easy to do that using a shell script or maybe less smarter with an alias.

when now launching mcedit via the ""F4"" edit key from mc i am still getting into an instance of mcedit that is using the extended character set. attempts to improve the situation with alias or helper scripts failed so far for me. shouldn't an mc instance that is in ascii mode also prefer to launch mcedit in ascii mode as well. other than that i dont even see a was to pre-select ascii mode for mcedit.

the problem is not instantly visible in mcedit as its main screen avoids using any extended chars but as soon as i open a dialog its corrupting the screen contents in a way that stays longer than the dialog is open."	defect	new	major	Future Releases	mcedit	master						no branch
