I can confirm this problem in Ubuntu 9.10.

mc is using nano as default editor (when you press F4 on file), while using internal mc viewer (when pressing F3).

There is an option "Options-Configuration-Use internal editor" to force mc to use internal editor, BUT IT IS NOT PERSISTENT. I select that option, press "Save configuration", I see confirmation that config file is saved, but the next time I start mc it is again using nano!

How I can make sure the option is saved? Or, how can I change default editor of mc from nano to vim? Any help is appriciated ;)
