Re: [Help-nano] Too many errors from stdin

[Christian Burger]

Oh, I see, thanks for taking the time. Version 2.9.* works fine. I should have thought of updating to "unstable" before reporting it. :) Again, thanks, Christian

Thanks for confirming.  :)

Since then, the problem has been fixed properly by Lion Yang in this
commit:  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/commit/?id=f0d36855

If you unmask in your Gentoo install the "unstable" version of nano,
you will get 2.9.3, which has the fix (fixed since 2.9.0) -- not really
a fix, more of a workaround, but anyway, it prevents the problem.

I would say yes: the program should return the terminal to the state
it was in when the program started.
