[Bug 1998592] Re: in specific situations, nano can eat characters

[Benno Schulenberg]

(I've updated the description because Launchpad shrinks double blanks
into a single blank, breaking the original recipe.  The original report
is in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63407.)

Title:
  in specific situations, nano can eat characters

Status in nano package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Reproduction recipe:

      printf "two words\n second line\n"  >words

      nano --ignore --auto --break  +,2 words

  Then press Enter.  See how "t" from the first word has *disappeared*.
  This is wrong.  And what is worse: M-U does not bring the eaten letter
  back.

  Attached patch has been applied upstream to fix the issue.  Please
  consider applying it to nano-6.2 in Jammy (22.04), and maybe also to
  nano-4.8 in Focal (20.04).
