The immediate cause of the problem is that (from some previous run of MC),
the ini file says

        use_8th_bit_as_meta=1

which makes MC change the KEY_RESIZE (0x199) to 0x19.

I see it now - that's definetely a bug in MC. Thanks for tracking it down! The attached patch should fix it. I'll
apply it if you confirm that it fixes the problem for
you.

I'd like to ask you to share you thoughts regarding the
use of ncurses in MC in general. Like things that you
don't like or think that can be implemented in a better
way. Also if you have any information about reports of
MC misbehaving when built with  ncurses support - please,
let us know. I am also interested in getting MC to work
with the widechar version of ncurses - if you could provide
any references I'd be very grateful.
