Corresponding source code
Even when just doing 'pico README' or 'nano --ignore +1 README' and typing <Down> until the cursor is on the bottom row, and then typing <PageDown>... The cursor will effectively have moved up one line. I had never realized this -- because I must have put 'set smooth' in my .nanorc within a week of starting to use nano.
So, this absurd behavior cannot be fixed: it is what Pico does too, and has been this way for too long.
But yes, it is better that nano behaves as closely to Pico when no options are given to modify its behavior. Commit 255f5478 should achieve this for the +-1 case.
Marking this bug as "wontfix", because: "cantfix".
