To reproduce, configure nano with --enable-tiny and --with-slang, compile, and then run on an 80 column:
Now shrink the terminal to 50 columns. See that the display does not change. That is correct: the tiny version does not adapt the screen size changes. But now press <PageDown> <PageUp>. Ho! See that the text is garbled, saying "prowonderfully" and "uitethe GPL" and other such nonsense. Somehow Slang has registered that the screen size has changed, but hasn't changed COLS, so nano still thinks the screen is 80 columns wide.

Also, it is not relevant to fix this because in the Debian installer nano is used either on a Linux console or in a special terminal window, and neither of them can be resized.
