1538	Too narrow overwrite dialog	bilbo	andrew_b	"The dialog asking whether to overwrite files or not is very narrow, even if terminal window with MC is very large (like 200 characters wide) - it seems to have fixed width of 60 characters.

This is very annoying if the filename gets shortened in a way that will give you little or no hint what file from the bunch you are copying you are trying to overwrite.

For example, when I tried to overwrite file /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.15-2_amd64.deb I got this prompt:

{{{Target file ""/var/cache/~_amd64.deb"" already exists!}}}

Solution: The dialog should be wider (up to width of the terminal) if necessary to show entire file name in file overwrite prompts.

Another solution, combinable with the one suggested above:
Redo the dialog, so the entire name of the file will be shown on separate line, like this:

{{{
