What i expected:
- since it is editor, i expected to be able to paint over "out of map" tiles.

I assume this should be allowed as you can use "paint bucket" tool to fill whole "out of map" spot. With this issue (no brush over out-of-map) it is hard to fix small mistakes. In maps with limited initial size however, paint bucket used on outer area will change everything that is out-of-map (only in already allocated and filled chunks)

I rate this to be "minor" since it is not game-breaking.

Thanks for the report. Hold shift to paint over out-of-map tiles.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
