Description
When using micro on Ubuntu 18.04, the default keybindings for CursorLeft and CursorRight seem to move the cursor and select text (starting from the cursors starting position). Up and Down work as expected. Is this normal?
edit: This only happens when using a shell via SSH (in Putty in my case), not locally.

Research direction
Reproduce the CursorLeft and CursorRight behavior in micro on Ubuntu 18.04 both locally and through an SSH session using PuTTY, comparing it with the working Up and Down keys. Trace the terminal input and cursor-selection handling; done means the left and right keys move the cursor without selecting text over SSH.
