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) 5. Click OK.
Expected results: console output size increases and decreases by "Output lines:" setting. Actual results: console output size does not change by "Output lines:" setting. On next visit of Layout dialog, it shows "Output lines:" as 0. Inspired by this AskUbuntu question - https://askubuntu.com/q/986808/66509 . Notes: what is great - this bug is fixed in 17.10 and 18.04 LTS.
