Bug Description

If I run minicom -o -p /dev/pts/3, the status bar still shows the original port name like /dev/ttyS0.
From the code (minicom.c:1372, I found dial_tty will be replaced by P_PORT if I don't use -p argument.
So question is why not show dial_tty on status bar. It is the real node minicom connects.

main.c #564
bufi += snprintf(buf + bufi, COLS - bufi, "%s", shortened_devpath(b, sizeof(b), P_PORT));

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This is the sort of issue that is best fixed upstream. Please could you check to see if the latest upstream version (or VCS trunk) has this fixed already, and if not then report the bug upstream if it has not been reported already?
