Hey there,
I'm reluctant to file this immediately as a bug, but would like to instead
ask what more data I could provide.
I have a UTF-8 terminal, and have put in my global nanorc:
set whitespace "»·"
Now, if you're on UTF8, you will see, essentially:
and . (the . would be at mid-line height). Both of these would be a
single character wide.
If, however, you're on some OTHER terminal type, you see this:
http://www.gushi.org/nano_bug/nano_stuff.png
(as reported by a user)
However, nano throws up a warning that it can't parse that line because at
that point it's 4 chars wide.
I might suggest that the "set whitespace" warning needs to be modified such
that it is encoding matched.
set whitespace UTF-8 "xy"
set whitespace "ab"
Thoughts?
