[Nano-devel] when a file is shorter than the screen, don't start on the middle line

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi all,

I've just noticed that the option --positionlog has a small unwanted effect:

When you've edited a file that is a little shorter than the height of the
editing window, and you close the file while the cursor is on the last line,
then, when you reopen the file, the cursor will still be on the last line,
but this last line will be in the middle of the screen and the top few lines
of the file will be out of view.

Not nice.

I would expect nano, upon opening a file,  to show me the whole thing
whenever it fits on the screen.  Anyone who agrees or disagrees with
that?
