Hello, This problem has been reported by Marcel Telka some time ago: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00485.html
Apparently some changes in newer Cygwin versions broke the arrow keys handling in MC 4.5.55. I planned to investigate this problem but couldn't get enough time. Are you establishing the ssh session over a slow connection ? Steve O expressed an opinion that this may be actually a problem in MC's key handling code. Btw newer versions of MC (4.6.0) seem to not experience this problem. I've already prepared the Cygwin package for MC 4.6.0, but I was delaying the release, because I've a pending patch, which I want to be accepted, before I release the updated package. Unfortunately the MC maintainer is quite busy now and doesn't have time to properly review it. I think that if this patch is not reviewed until the end of this week I'll release the updated package anyway.
