when using the internal editor mcedit I realised that the cursor can be
moved further than end of line which gives the impression of an infinite

That's not a bug. Disable the "Cursor beyond EOL" editor option if you
don't like this behavior.
Uhm, behaving different than any other editor I know is IMHO at least a
badly choosen default behaviour (= wishlist bug). I would strongly vote
to keep the original behaviour and leave this new (??) behaviour as a
configuration option. In addition it is not really obvious to find this
option.
Especially it is not possible to tell whether there are real spaces or
not and the user starts "removing" spaces at end of line if he asumes
there are some.
You can turn on "Visible spaces and tabs" so that you can actually see
then.
I know this option but I do not really like it because it reduces the
ability to cut-n-past sections of the text.
Kind regards
Andreas.
