Fixed in git, commit 0e44752b, by effectively reverting 2500debb, that is: by setting 'current_x' to zero when doing a full justification, so that extract_segment() will do the right thing.

Thanks for reporting!

Concentrating the recipe more on visible misbehavior:

run `src/nano --ignore --cutfrom` and type:

aaaaa M-J M-U

See that the status bar says "Undid justification", but the five a's have disappeared!  Oops.

Bug exists since version 4.0, commit 2500debb: "don't bother zeroing the x position when doing a full justify".  But the x position does matter when --cutfromcursor is active.  Ouch!

Steps to reproduce:
1 - Start nano
2 - Alt + k
3 - Type a
4 - Alt + j
5 - Alt + u
--> You may have to run with Valgrind or AddressSanitizer to see the memory error
