I found the solution to this.
With the newer versions of mc, there is a single option NOT enabled by
default that caused the problem. This is true in any linux distro as well
since I tested with debian on a PI and it had the same problem. If it can
be enabled by default, that would be just perfect, is there any chance of
this?
Options -> Panel Options -> Auto save panels setup
This looks like a new option with mc 4.8 thats why it always worked before
that. Is there any way we can have this changed back the way it was, so we
don't have to save the setup on every host I ever use?
Thanks,
