As you write, not really, because there is a swith at putty's
configuration: "Initial state of cursor keys: Normal / Application". You
can set it as you want, the default is Normal. As I set it to
Application, the normal dd works as with the echo.

It looks like, that they did it, and it works well, just not the
application mode the default.

I totally agree, and we don't need it, too.

Summarizing above, it seems that putty is correct, but mc still not
works for me. :)
