Disabling "tabs" and "spaces" visibility in MC

[Camaleón <noelamac@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I just have installed Debian Lenny (64 bits) on one of my systems and also
installed Midnight Commander (4.6.2-pre1).

When trying to disable "tab" and "spaces" on MC I can't get it to work.

I've edited /root/.mc/ini file and added:

***
editor_visible_tabs=0
editor_visible_spaces=0
***

And saved the file, but as soon as I open MC, those values revert back into:

***
editor_visible_tabs=1
editor_visible_spaces=1
***

Which generates the "<---->" lines.

Any hint on how to disable this?

Greetings,
