Zaytsev wrote: 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 number of spaces behind the last character which is definitely an unexpected behaviour for an editor. 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.

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.
