Public bug reported: While editing a shell script (.sh file) nano colours trailing spaces bright green.
It also considers spaces that have just been typed to be trailing spaces. This results in constant flashing bright green while typing, which is both distracting and annoying. It's at its most ridiculous when typing comments (for which trailing whitespace is obviously completely irrelevant), but is also irritating any time you happen to look at what you're typing. Which for me is, as it happens, all the time. Ideal solution: only display trailing whitespace if the user is not, you know, still typing on that line, with the cursor right there. Easy solution: just shut up about the damn spaces already. ** Affects: nano (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361131 Title: constantly flashing bright green while typing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/1361131/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
