[Nano-devel] Weirdness on SUN

[Sam Halliday]

hi there,

i have noticed that on SUN machines (sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8), nano-1.2.1 seems
to add extra space characters on the screen when typing at the beginning of a
line; but the saved file is OK.

i will give a walking example, showing whats on the screen and what is saved.

- start a blank file, and type the following
this is a file

- then go to the beginning of the line and start typing any key, here i press
the `a' key 10 times:

ON SCREEN
aaaaaaaaaa          this is a file

SAVED IN FILE
aaaaaaaaaathis is a file

ON SCREEN there is a cursor just after the set of a's and one also before the
`t' in `this'

This does not happen on GNU/Linux.

cheers,
Sam
