Could you please give a bit more details next time?  What is
"highlighted"?  Are you using `Ins' or what?  Does anything depend on
that?

This means that F2 does what F19 (Shift-F9) is supposed to do.

What is "mc app. faults"? Do you get a coredump?  I suppose that if F2
works as F19 that F3 may behave as F20 (Shift-F10), which exits without
prompt.  It's not a fault, it's how it should work.

You are always skipping what _you_ are doing.  I believe you mean that
pressing the keybar with the mouse works.  Then it must be a problem with
your terminal or X-server, not with MC.  MC can only compensate for this -
you could try Option -> Learn Keys in the MC menu to redefine keys in MC.

If you are trying to say that the results are the same with all three
terminals, then I would think that something is wrong either with X Server
or (less likely) with Enlightenment.

New version of what?  MC?  Enlightenment?  Eterm?  What version?  And what
problem?
