Hi Claudio, thanks for your report :)

Can I suggest the following:

1) Updating to 2.7.6 (the lang/python27 port was recently updated) and
   reproducing the issue on that version
2) Get in touch with the ranger authors to help isolate the issue if
   its still reproducible: https://github.com/hut/ranger/

It may be:

a) A regression in recent Python versions
b) An issue with FreeBSD-curses compatibility
c) An issue with the FreeBSD Python port(s)
d) A change in Python curses support that broke ranger
e) A local configuration quirk that only now highlights a problem

Let us know how you go isolating, and we're also available on IRC at
#freebsd-python on FreeNode.
