Description
If I run mc(edit) as my user, it doesn't do any syntax highlight. "Options -> Syntax highlight" only shows "Auto" and "Reload Current Syntax", but "Options -> Syntax file" opens ~/.config/mc/mcedit/Syntax successfully (I tried deleting that file and it was recreated).
If I run sudo mc, syntax highlight works.
I suppose the files included from ~/.config/mc/mcedit/Syntax aren't found, but they do exist in /usr/share/mc/syntax, and are readable by the current user.
I don't see any error anywhere that would help me solve this problem. mcedit could output a warning in the terminal (Ctrl+O) to help the user figure out how to fix the problem.

Replying to dandv:
Looks like your files under ~/.config/mc are owned by root and $USER haven't rights to read them.
Please check permissions for all mc configuration files in your $HOME. Also please check the sudo configuration. See #2730 for details.
