Fixed in git, 598e0af, for the <Ctrl+Right> case.  For the <Right> case, see the new bug #49099.

To reproduce, run 'for x in $(seq 20); do echo -n "xx  "; done >exes', then run 'stty cols 50 && src/nano --ignore --soft --smooth --nowrap exes'.  Then type <Enter> until the second line with exes disappears from view.

Then start typing <Ctrl+Right>.  When you've reached the last pair of exes on the current line, another <Ctrl+Right> does not scroll the rest of the line into view, but the cursor sits as if stuck on the second x of the pair.  When you keep typing <Ctrl+Right>, ultimately the invisible real cursor jumps off the end of the line and the rest of the line and the subsequent blank line scroll into view.

Expected behavior: as soon as you start moving around in a softwrapped line, the whole line should come into view.

Bug is present since at least nano-2.2.1.

To continue: go back to the beginning of the line of exes, type <Enter> until the wrapped part scrolls off.  Then type M-- followed by M-= (the scroll-up and scroll-down commands).  The second key stroke again should bring the entire softwrapped line into view, and not just the first part.
