Description
Version Information
Cmder version: v1.3.24
Operating system: Windows 10 22H2
Cmder Edition
Cmder Full (with Git)
Description of the issue
I connect from cmder using ssh (cmder\vendor\git-for-windows\usr\bin) to the linux server and run midnight commander (mc). And as soon as I press ctrl+o, all the text under mc disappears. This has been happening since git-for-windows 2.27.0.
But I would like to use newer versions of git-for-windows because of the mouse in mc and other graphical improvements.
Can you please advise?
Thank you!
How to reproduce
- ssh user@server
- run mc
- press ctrl+o
- text disappears

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported path: connect with ssh from Cmder, run Midnight Commander on the Linux server, and press Ctrl+O. Compare behavior with the bundled Git for Windows version and newer versions; done means the text remains usable after Ctrl+O while retaining the reported mouse and graphical improvements.
