I think nconfig is a better fit for your system.
In my understanding, the concept of menuconfig is to use a similar appearance to the 'dialog' tool although we have largely modified the code.

You missed to adjust dialog_textbox().
(1) Run 'make menuconfig' (2) Press < Help > button to show help message (3) Press < Exit > button to get back
When you do (2) and (3), please make sure the size of the grey window is not changed.
This is how the current menuconfig works.
I want to leave the blue frame. My personal preference is
height -= 3; width -= 2;
