"Fixed" in git, commit 86108570, by simply removing the unnecessary warning -- it appears to be too hard to catch all possible oversteppings of the edges of the screen in advance.

Thanks for reporting.

When you originally saw the message, did you have whitespace in the search string or in the replacement string?  Do you have 'set atblanks' in your .nanorc?  Do you use 'set nohelp'?  Do you use 'set emptyline'?  Do you use 'set linenumbers'?

>When your terminal has 24 rows, then the warning message cannot be "Badness: tried to display a chunk on row 19", because row 19 is onscreen, in the viewport.


I might have reduced the size of the terminal that session. When I checked `stty size`, I was using a terminal at its default size.

>But if a line would get duplicated in nano's viewport, then it could only be the first line/row or the last line/row in the viewport.  Not a random line/row.  Does that match what you saw?


Yes.

> Do you sometimes put to sleep (with ^T^Z or similar) and then use 'fg' to resume nano?


No.

When your terminal has 24 rows, then the warning message cannot be "Badness: tried to display a chunk on row 19", because row 19 is onscreen, in the viewport.  If your terminal really had 24 rows and the message really said "row 19", it means something (not nano) must have set LINES to a value smaller than 24.  When LINES does not match the actual number of rows of the terminal, ncurses (and thus nano) will get confused.

In your original submission you said that "it duplicates a random line".  But if a line would get duplicated in nano's viewport, then it could only be the first line/row or the last line/row in the viewport.  Not a random line/row.  Does that match what you saw?

Do you sometimes put to sleep (with ^T^Z or similar) and then use 'fg' to resume nano?

>What size (`stty size`) is your terminal?


24 80

>What terminal?


xfce4-terminal

>Which version of nano?


7.2

>What kind of file are you editing?


Python file.

>Does it contain many overlong lines or just a few?


Many.

>Can you elicit the warning also when using just --ignorerc --softwrap?


I wasn't able to, but the bug is inconsistent. In fact, after rebooting my computer, I'm struggling to reproduce the bug under normal circumstances.

When attempting to use search and replace, I sometimes get the following
error message when using the "replace all" option:

Badness: tried to display a chunk on row 19 -- please report a bug

Despite the error, the replacement went fine, but it duplicates a random
line, although this duplicate line goes away when I move my cursor.
From my attempts to reproduce  the bug, it seems to happen when I quickly use "replace all" as soon as I'm giving the option to do so.
