Original submission:
Size of dialog to select listing mode [(Left|Right) -> Listing mode] is hardcoded to 45 characters (or actually more if translated strings are longer). However, with this default width, "User defined" string is often not shown entirely and you have to scroll to see it. I have created and attached patch, that will widen the dialog by up to 15 characters, if size of the screen allows it (dialog never grows wider than width of console). Maybe similar modification could be done also to other dialogs? (not sure which of them can benefit from being wider if possible)

iirc, this patch was discussed and rejected in the current form.
however, it is true that non-use of available screen space is a pervasive problem in mc. for example, the copy & rename dialogs will not grow, thus truncating file names even if there would be room to display each name three times.

Hmm, I've seen an MC build where this problem was resolved by increasing dialogs size verticaly and composing controls in 2 or more lines
