Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1811.0

Any other software?
Any other software?
Debian Buster installed through Microsoft Store
mc installed from default Debian repository :  3:4.8.22-1 - but this fault occurred also on in default Windows command prompt.

Steps to reproduce

The key combination (Alt-Enter) is used for resizing the terminal window, but this combination is necessary for particular applications in the terminal. For example in mc is used to copies current filename to command. I can't find an option which can disable the window resize, for passing it for a terms program.

Expected behavior

Passing the Alt-Enter combination to the application

Actual behavior

Resize window of terminal
