Public bug reported:
Nano 2.9.3
Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS - Linux 4.14.157-171 armv7l
ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS - Linux 4.9.196-63 aarch64
Amlogic S922X rev a (4 A73 + 2 A53)
This issue is repeatable on more than 6 each different machines of the above
configurations.
I am using ssh via Putty to log in via terminal screen.
I am using nano defaults. I have not changed anything nor do I open with any
arguments. I use nano <filename> and it's not associated with any extension. It
behaves the same for all files, even no extension files.
Nano is not changing the file, it's just not displaying correctly. The
characters are there and they save properly, they're just not visible on the
terminal screen.
Using WinSCP presents no issues as I am using my local Windows text
editor.
If I use vi to view the file there are no problems.
If I use cat to view the file there are no problems.
If I use tail to view the file there are no problems
I do not experience this issue on:
Nano 2.5.3
Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS - Linux 4.14.5-92 armv7l
ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
If I take any file that has repeat characters such as:
############
-----------------
|||||||
Nano 2.9.3 will not display all of the continuous repeat characters in
the row. For example:
Copy and paste ############ is displayed as:
# <-- But end of line is correct
If I copy that line from the file in nano editor and paste it into another non
nano editor I get:
#
as the paste result
This is the same for all different repeated characters.
If I keyboard type ############################## nano will display it until
nano is closed and then the same file is reopened. Then it's same as above, one
# but end of line is correct.
Pasting:
# +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+

# | | | | | | | |
# +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+
while nano is still open.
Close the file and view in cat, vi or tail and it is show properly..
