How many $COLUMNS in that window? 500 or something? I thought I was getting
out of hand with 236 on 1920x1080. :)

Check F9-> Options -> Layout. It looks like mc is not expecting a  
super-wide
screen and thinks it's in 80 column mode or something. Note that with  
really
wide screen like that your scrolling may be slow. You may want to use  
smaller
terminal window, or much bigger font.

Also, sending SIGWINCH to mc may help fix it automatically: try  
un-maximizing
the window, then re-maximizing it. mc may adjust properly. Then SAVE the
options so it remembers for next time.
