Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install `mc` on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
2. Switch to plain VT (native Linux console) with <Ctrl+Alt+F1>, log-in and 
start Midnight Commander with `mc`
3. Open Options->Layout setting
4. Try to change value in "Console output" -> "Output lines:" (for example 
change 0 to 5)
