mc menu movement

[Charles Hallenbeck]

I have been exploring midnight commander and would like to get 
comfortable with it. One problem that makes it difficult is that when 
invoking the menus with F9 and then moving horizontally from one menu 
title to another, the spoken item seems to be not the one being 
selected, but the one being left behind. In other words, if "file" is 
selected and I press right arrow expecting to move to "command", the 
name "file" is spoken, not the name "command", although checking the 
colors of the menu names shows that file is no longer highlighted and 
command is. 

Have I neglected to configure something that affects this behavior? Does 
anyone else see this? Vertical movement seems to track the highlight bar 
okay, it seems to be only horizontal movement that is a challenge to 
follow.

I am composing this message using nano, and I notice that with highlight 
tracking selected instead of cursor tracking, I get the same peculiar 
behavior when moving the cursor left and right across some text within 
nano. So I guess maybe it's a bug in highlight tracking.
