No improvement.

b) trying woth other documents


I tried some 5 files and still the same.

c) trying changing your shell


This seems to be the key. I tried konsole, kosole+mc (midnight commander),
xterm and xterm+mc. It seems it is the mc which causes the problem as for
konsole and xterm alone it works. However, I have no idea why...

Thanks, Kašpi.
