Thanks for confirming.  And thanks again for reporting!

Pushed to master, commit eaeafe29.  Will be in 3.1 in a week or two.

The patch on top of 3.0 seems to work so far.

After some quick testing, your patch works for both my test cases.  Thanks.

What happens is that the cursor-position message gets written to the screen before nano has re-entered curses mode -- the suspend keystroke elicits a call to do_cursorpos(), but it gets executed only upon returning from suspension.  You can see this happening when you add a napms(3000) (a three-second sleep) at the end of do_cursorpos().

The solution is simple: the suspend keystroke should suppress the writing of the cursor position.  Please try the attached patch.

Or do you see this spurious cursor-position display also when not using suspension, Lauri?

Thanks David, I can now reproduce.

The problem has been there for a while: at least since 2.4.3 -- version 2.3.6 was still unaffected.

Bisecting points at 75d64e67 as the offending commit.  Hmmm...  Strange.  I don't see what a SIGWINCH has to do with exiting from curses mode.  :|

Yes, I have "set nohelp" in my nanorc, but I couldn't make the help text stay on screen after exit. Following David's steps reproduces for me, even if I drop "--nohelp" from the first command.

I've been seeing this as well.  I can reproduce it as follows with nano 3.0:

1. Run: nano -I --suspend --constantshow --nohelp

2. Press Ctrl-Z to suspend nano.

3. Type "fg" and Enter at the prompt to go back into nano.

4. Press Ctrl-X to exit nano.

nano's cursor position display is still displayed after exiting, and it overwrites the prompt on my system, so I end up with:


dramsey@serenity:~$ █ 1/1 (100%), char 0/0 (0%)


just as in Lauri's case.  (The block is to show where my cursor is; nano doesn't actually display it.).

If in step 1, I run:

nano -I --suspend --constantshow

instead, I still get the same problem; the help lines are not left behind, only the cursor position display.

Hello Lauri,

Thanks for reporting.

Besides 'set constantshow' you also use 'set nohelp' in your nanorc?  Because it looks to me that nano somehow fails to clear the bottom row of the screen before giving back control to the shell (which then proceeds to write the prompt on that bottom row, probably overwriting the "line 2/18 (0%)" part, or something similar).

If you do use 'set nohelp', then please comment it out and see if ^X then leaves the bottom help line on the screen, or maybe even both of them.

I updated to the new 3.0 release from 2.2.6. When I exit by ctrl-x, sometimes there's output on the console:

user@/tmp$  col 35/35 (100%), char 72/73 (98%)

I have "set constantshow" in my nanorc, what used to be "set const".
