problems when "cd" to Directories with german umlauts and "_"

Hi,

after a little debugging ....

Error message comes from src/subshell.c ( around line 810)

1.
Change in a subdirectory that contains no german umlauts and/or a "_" mc
never go to

if(subshell_alive) { ... } in function

void
do_subshell_chdir () {

}

and there

string subshell_cwd

and

string current_panel->cwd

are the same

2.
Change to a directory with german umlauts and/or "_"

mc goes to
if (subshell_alive)
   int subshell_alive is here 1 and before too

string subshell_cwd

and

string current_panel->cwd

are different,

current_panel->cwd = "contains the directory with umlauts and _ "
subshell_cwd = "contains the upper directory from current_panel->cwd"

Hope this helps ....

Greetings
Erik

I can confirm that with Spanish accents. Looks like an UTF-8 conversion problem to me. Maybe multibyte constants are not handled correctly somewhere in the shell code?

This error is very annoying, specially because it means that no shell command can be executed from the command line (the "can't change directory" message means that the shell remains on the parent directory, even though the correct directory is shown in the panel).

This is a regression comparing with the Edgy version, so IMHO it should be fixed before release.

Best regards.

Same thing here. Is threr any workarounds?
