2557	"""Chmod"" dialog: Use screenspace better (with patch)"	bugreporter	andrew_b	"MC's ""chmod"" dialog has its size hardcoded in the source -- both the overall size, and the size of the dialog's components.

The hardcoded numbers work well with the English language (see the attached screenshot ""english_before.png"").

They do NOT work well with many other languages (see the attached screenshot ""international_before.png""; it uses German as an example). Perfectly translated strings overflow their allocated width. At the same time, the dialog leaves much blank space that stays unused.

The attached patch ""mc-4.7.5.2-chmod_use_whitespace-1.patch"" re-structures the ""chmod"" dialog's internal dimensions such that less of the dialog's area  is wasted for whitespace. The dialog's outer dimensions stay untouched.

This improves the situation for non-English languages considerably (see the attached screenshot ""international_after.png"").

The dialog in English language still looks good (see the attached screenshot ""english_after.png"").
