Aborting script when git operation is performed in midnight commander make input characters invisible

Question

I have a script that performs git operations like checkout, fetch, pull and mvn clean install in several repos. If I press CTRL-C when script executes git operations it stops. But after that I can't see characters I'm typing in that terminal. If I press enter I see that terminal executes typed command and see output but can't see characters I put into the terminal. It is reproduced all the time in MC, but everything is OK in plain termminal. Does anybody know what is the reason of such behaviour?

Does it matter where in the `git` operations you ctrl-c out? — Etan Reisner, Oct 14 '15 at 19:35

Thanks to user3159253 for solution! Executing stty sane in such terminal fix the situation.

It would be helpful if someone explains why input characters are invisible in terminal in such situation.
