Uhm, behaving different than any other editor I know is IMHO at least a

option.
You'd better file a bug against upstream for changing the default
behavior that's been there for ages, this sounds like a convincing
reason to make the old behavior a default.
Do I need to register for opening a ticket? If yes would you volunteer
to proxy my report upstream? I do not want to steal your time but I'm
bored by having accounts on several places loosing passwords etc...
If all negotiations fail and more Debian users want this back all we can
do is to add a custom patch to the package just as we did for turning
off mcedit by default...
Well, I have no real problem with your decision because it makes sense
to use system default editor and I need to fire up configuration anyway
to enable "Lynx like motion" which is my personal preference (which is
IMHO different from upstream default) but if I would be MC maintainer I
would probably leave mcedit as default. But there is no real need to
discuss this - just wanted you to have some user response.
Kind regards
Andreas.
