Description
Bug:
Case 1: Make the terminal window 85 characters wide. Click (with the mouse) on the right side of the "Copy" button on the bottom. See the Move dialog appearing instead of the Copy dialog.
Case 2: Make the terminal 42 characters wide. Click on the bottom right corner (the Re~ov button). MC invokes its menu or quits, depending on the exact click location.
There's some clever logic with displaying the bottom buttons. If the terminal window is narrower than 70 columns, each button gets 7 characters and some buttons will simply not appear at all. If the terminal window is bigger than 70 columns, but not dividable by 10, the first couple of buttons get slightly bigger than the last ones. Unfortunately, the code that handles mouse clicks does not know anything about these, it uses its own, completely different algorithm trying to figure out on which button the user clicked.
Aesthetic issue:
Resize the window to have 85 columns. Notice that the main middle vertical line (the one between the two panels), and the middle vertical line of the button bar (the one between the Copy and Move buttons) totally do not line up vertically. It's not a bug at all, but once you happen to spot it, it really looks ugly.
See the patch that solves all these. The extra space is not assigned to the first buttons, but distributed mostly evenly across buttons, guaranteeing that the first five get exactly as much (or one character less) than the second five, just as it works for the panels. Also, mouse clicks use the exact same boundaries that were used when printing the buttons.

Patch just replaced with a second version. In the first version, it was possible that when you made the whole window wider, one of the buttons just went narrower, which looked awful. The new version is more explicit on which buttons should be wider.

Friendly ping...
This is a very very stupid bug, present in the main page of mc. You click on the Copy button and you get the Move file dialog. Arghhhh... Patch is attached. I think this should really make it into the next stable release! Please...
