I'm quite impressed with your remote troubleshooting!
Yes, I've been using cinnamon for quite a long time on my Linux desktop here at work. I just switched to XFCE as an experiment. Now MC seems to work as expected.
Under cinnamon MC did other weird stuff, like the menus all appeared in an animated way, seeming to start small, and quickly growing. This was pretty weird looking when traversing down several levels of menus. That behavior is gone now with XFCE as well.
I'm not sure if I can live with XFCE full time just yet, but I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks!
Brian.

I wonder if it's an issue with the compositor?
If the video card is OpenGL capable and Dri is working properly I think the compositor will be enabled automatically.
If you have an NVidia card, the only time I've gotten this work work properly is with the Nvidia supplied driver (not Nouveau or the open source driver).
You might try cinnamon with the compositor turned off (if that's an option somewhere).

Hmm, wonder if I can get it to happen in my Linux Mint 19 VM (its DE is Cinnamon). Somebody should check GNOME too, as Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME 3 and the issue might happen there too. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it in my VMs thus far. The *only* issue(s) with GNOME I've noticed are a) the save file dialog appears behind the main MC window (e.g. when doing a library backup) and b) if using Dash To Dock (or using Ubuntu 18.04 with its default dock) if you start MC and minimize, for about 30 seconds MC appears busy and if you click on MC's icon in the dock it'll launch a second instance. If you wait 30 seconds and try this, it'll restore the MC window instead of launching a new instance. Something I've noticed for a couple years now.
If you're using a Nvidia 9xx or 10xx series GPU, you have to use the proprietary Nvidia driver, as the open-source Nouveau/Mesa support for these GPUs isn't very good (thanks to Nvidia either not helping or giving the firmware blobs needed).

I'm using the video card built in to the motherboard of an inexpensive Dell desktop. Looks like it's an Intel graphics chip. Xeon E3-1200 integrated, according to lspci.
I might mess around with the cinnamon settings in a bit.

What distro are you using? Also can you find out which version of Cinnamon its running (via system info or something like that within the distro)?
