That sounds like the ANSI editor is somehow losing, or corrupting, the display codes that cause Mystic to display that information.  Strikes me as a bit odd that Mystic's own ANSI editor would do that (you'd think if anything was going to work, it would).

I"ve just been using vi myself - but then I've only been doing small tweaks.  If/when I do more substantial things then I'll use an ANSI editor.  I've installed icy_draw to play with - just haven't had any playing time, so can't vouch for how well it works.
