On a terminal of 35 rows and 72 columns, run:

  src/nano --ignore --softwrap --quick --atblanks +1 NEWS +88,44 doc/faq.html

Then resize the terminal to 90 columns, type ^X, see the warnings, then type <Alt+Down> three times, then <Alt+Up> once.  See how the row with "nano also reached..." is duplicated.  When you then with <Up> move the cursor to the second of those rows, and press <Ctrl+Left> a few times, you'll see that the cursor stops in the middle of words: nano thinks that a different text is there than what is actually displayed.  When you then type ^L, the duplicated row disappears.

The problem is that when we close the first buffer and switch to the second, 'firstcolumn' hasn't been updated to fit the width of the screen, so nano starts diplaying chunks from a wrong starting point.

For the recipe to produce the said warnings, the terminal needs to have at least 34 rows.

To reproduce, make your terminal 72 columns wide and then run:

  src/nano --ignore --softwrap  +1 NEWS +88,44 doc/faq.html

Then resize the window horizontally to 90 columns.  Then type ^X.

Result: [ Badness: tried to display a chunk on row 31/32/33... ]
