Looks like the PROBLEM was introduced upstream, have a look at this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413258 (debian bug 413258). In the case of Midnight Commander I don't agree that this should behave like any other editor and Ubuntu is not Debian. I suggest to change this back to the non debian way! This should be a easy fix, just reverse the patch from debian bug 413258
