   In fact, after some research, mc subshell does'nt like the "tput setab num_color" or "tput setaf num_colo" in PS1.
   Is there a way to do it accept it ?
   Thanks

   So why can't you simply use ANSI escapes instead? Somehow, I'm not surprised that complex stuff in PS1 like tput is causing problems, even though I don't know exactly why. Also, did you try current master? The subshell hook was revised after 4.8.15.

   @rcspam Quick question: are you surrounding the tputs with \[ and \] ? (or, \x01 and \x02 depending on context)

   From man bash

    \[     begin  a sequence of non-printing characters, which could
                        be used to embed a terminal  control  sequence  into  the
                        prompt
                 \]     end a sequence of non-printing characters
