Re: Nano 4.6 eats this line

Hello all,


Thanks Brand for confirming the problem, and Benno for fixing it!

It works. Thanks!

Yes, I did add \ to the quotestring, but only as a poor solution to a 
problem I met when newer versions of Nano starting differing from Pico's 
behavior. Here is an example:

        \noindent
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit

Each line starts with a <Tab> and there is no more text than that. When 
the cursor is on the second line, I expect ^J to leave the two lines 
alone. Instead, "Lorem [...]" is now put on the first line, after 
"\noindent". Pico didn't do that and I find it inconvenient.

Moreover, if the text becomes a little longer:

        \noindent
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore

then the behavior of ^J depends on which line it was called. If it is 
called on the third line, the paragraph remains the same (on an 80-column 
teminal at least); if it is called on the first or second line, the first 
and second line are fused together and the whole paragraph is reformated.

I'd really prefer \ not to be in "quotestring" since as you mentioned it 
can ruin inserting a space, but it is still less bothersome than Nano's 
now standard behavior.

The reason is the same for presence of "<" in the quotestring, here is an 
example:

        <p class="warning">
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore
        </pr>


Kind regards,
Sébastien.
