Hmm, it is not shown in ASCII mode bit see PNG attachment 2...

So this mean, mcedit is changing something (FONT) I am not expecting. 

This severity should be generaly higher then "normal" since it makes
reading large threads realy hard if it show always this ascii chars.

Note: If I use "editor=/usr/bin/xedit" all is working fine.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
