Could this explain it?

Most likely it can be simply explained by the fact that shell wrappers
don't take effect until you re-login, so on a freshly installed system mc
will not remember last directory right after installing the package.

one, like most users I think. midnight
commander has its origins from the 90s too. It sucked far worse

Hey Mike,
I used to love Norton Commander (nc) because of its function keys for
copy and move in combination with easy
selection of files. Those are the traits that mc copied from norton and
made me start using MC. Probably MC also
copied the editting. In comparison to DOS at the time, Norton Commander
was really a breeze of fresh air. He really
thought things through. When I switched to Linux I went to MC and never
looked back. He also made other more
system oriented software for windows, but I am getting OT now.
Anyway, I like MC for the same reasons and especially for the reason it
is reliable. With one exception everything
works as I expect it to. The exception is that sometimes the current
directory is remembered when finishing MC, and
sometimes it isn't and you end up in the original directory that you
started MC. This usually happens after full
upgrade or installing a new OS (Fedora -> Ubuntu or back)
I haven't seen this for a while, so probably the setup of MC has
improved. I work from Fedora 24 atm.
Kind regards, Guus.
