Closing due to lack of activity. Please check out nano 2.1.6 which was released yesterday and feel free to reopen this bug should it be needed.

Hello,

Nano will not wrap lines if compiled with --disable-wrapping-as-root, or if 'set nowrap' has been enabled in root's .nanorc or /etc/nanorc. Can you include the output of "nano --version" and check the files I mentioned, and see if this solves the issue? Thanks much!

Try this

su -l -c 'nano --fill=80 somefile'

And lines longer than 80 cols don't get wrapped, any other option works fine,
