Okay.  There is one problem.  To reproduce (with atblanks unset):

    stty cols 50 && src/nano --soft +76,418 doc/faq.html

Notice how the cursor is somewhere in the last chunk of a line,
and that the line ends at the very edge of the screen (which is
strange, because: where is the newline?).

Now press <End>.  Nothing happens.  Weird!  Now press <Left>.  The
cursor appears at the end of the line.  Ah!  The <End> /did/ move
the cursor to the end of the line, but it couldn't be placed there
because the end of line is beyond the edge of the terminal.

The chunk routines somehow don't count the terminating (but absent)
newline character as part of the line.


I've pushed your mildly tweaked patches to this branch:

    http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/log/?h=varisoft

If you make a fix, it will be best do it on top of that branch.
