It works for me, but the background color of the dash changes erratically.
So typical for mc - you look for one bug but find another.  Try this
patch, it preserves the cursor position and sets the color:

The CVS repository is closed because of the security issues
(http://savannah.gnu.org/statement.html), but I'll apply this patch as
soon as the repository is reopened.

If the problem persists, please describe in more details how to reproduce
it.  Bug reports about all visual effects should be accompanied by the
output of "mc -V".  I only tested the configuration with internal S-Lang.
