Fixed in git, commit 33fea90b.

This fixes bug #56461 too, which was a different symptom of the same thing.

(Sorry, David, I should have done the bisect first before CC'ing you.)

The offending commit is my own, c5a72103: "justify: extend the quoting regex, to cover more types of comments".  Aaah...  It considers a line that starts with dash dash to be a quoted line, and thus it must be a new paragraph.

Okay, "--" as a comment introducer is weird.  Lua users and Postgress users will have to extend quotestr with "--" themselves if they want to be able to rewrap comments.  The "--" string is used too often for other purposes to allow it to disturb justifying.

What happens is that since version 4.0 nano considers a line that starts with dash dash (--) to be the beginning of a new paragraph.  But why?

To reproduce, run:

  src/nano --ignore --fill=76 +1622 NEWS

Then type: M-P ^J <Up> <Up> ^J

Note that upon the second ^J, the space after the "the" above the "-T" disappears.  Note also that it does not disappear when using just one <Up>.  Absurd!

Now type a double dash before the word "on" (above "--tabsize") and type ^J.  The space after "the" reappears.  :|  Now type <Up> <Up> <Up> ^J, and the space after "text" disappears!  Perplexing.
