    kconfig/nconf: Fix hang when editing symbol with a long prompt · 79e51b5c
    Ben Hutchings authored
    Currently it is impossible to edit the value of a config symbol with a
    prompt longer than (terminal width - 2) characters.  dialog_inputbox()
    calculates a negative x-offset for the input window and newwin() fails
    as this is invalid.  It also doesn't check for this failure, so it
    busy-loops calling wgetch(NULL) which immediately returns -1.
    
    The additions in the offset calculations also don't match the intended
    size of the window.
    
    Limit the window size and calculate the offset similarly to
    show_scroll_win().
