And you are right with this. 'root root 0600' for history.

I'm using Gentoo which offers only the 4.7.0* at the moment for mc. And
yes, sometimes i use 'sudo mc' to edit e.g. something in /etc.

>try to change owner of your 'history' file and try again.

I have deleted history and also filepos which had 'root root 0644'. As
far i can see at the moment all seems to work well now.

And even 'sudo mc' doesn't change the ownership of history or filepos. :)

It's likely that i have had all previous versions of 4.7.0* on my
machine. One of them may have caused the behavior.

Hartmut, happy again
