Fixed in git, commit a2a00577, by forcing a one-line scroll in the main loop when there is a message and the cursor is on the bottom row (when --zero is active).

To reproduce, run:

src/nano --ignore --zero --nohelp + NEWS

Then type <Alt+Up> so that "all that jazz" is on the bottom row.
Now type: ^W jazz <Enter> M-W
Nano says "This is the only occurrence", but the occurrence itself is overlayed by the status bar.  (The text line returns after a second and a half, but that is not really good enough.)

Now type: ^F M-W
Nano says "Search Wrapped", obscuring the occurrence of the found string.

This obscuring can only occur when all occurrences of the sought string are on the current bottom row of the screen.  This will not happen often, I think, but still, it is quite possible, and obscuring the found occurrence with a message is not nice.
