There is an option "auto menus" in under Options->Configuration and
corresponding setting auto_menu in the config file.  This option has been
broken for a long time and it has always been turned off by default.

My guess is that somebody enabled "auto menus" on your system without
understanding what it's supposed to do.

Check if you have mc.ini in the directory indicated by "mc -f" (use the
old mc version) and if you have that file, check if it has "auto_menu=1"
in it.  It would be interesting to figure out who put it there.
