You didn't give any information about your terminal and your version of
mc.  Please see this document: http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/MAILING_LISTS

I'm using CVS mc on xterm 179 and what I see matches your description more
of less (although I always know "where I am"), but I don't see any problem
with it.  Maybe you should post a screenshot (please compress it below
20k) if you think that what your are seeing is really ugly and you cannot
describe it by words.

Of course you can write a wrapper around mc to run "clear" on exit.
