To reproduce, run:

  src/nano --ignore --view  NEWS

and type: ^W ^R the <Enter> ==== <Enter> A.

See how nano has modified the buffer, making more than nine hundred replacements.  And this in view mode.  Oops...

This may look harmless, because there deosn't seem to be a way to save the changed buffer (^S and ^O don't work), but typing ^X will ask whether to save the changed buffer, and when saying Y, the modified buffer gets saved!  Oops.  Maybe view mode should also prevent all writing to storage, just to be sure?
