Yep, I'm also a long time and heavy user of mc and both of these really 
infuriate me. I'm not sure which is worse, but I think the 'sticky' 
directory one gets me the most. I've lost count of the number of times 
I've switched to the subshell, typed a command and then found I was not 
in the directory of the panel I was just viewing.

I guess it is all the more infuriating because mc is just such a wonderful 
tool.
