[Nano-devel] [PATCH] browser: awkward behaviour when trying to open inaccessible directory using goto prompt

[Rishabh Dave]

Hi!

Patch for the bug - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48286 - is attached.

It basically snips code that opens directory under the body of
statement "else if (func == goto_dir_void)" in do_browser() in
browser.c and replaces new_path by newpath around. This makes
new_path's existence redundant so it is removed. Fix for bug #48007:
segmentation fault when trying to browse to an inaccessible directory
would naturally handle it.

I have added a comment and tryed to keep it short but it, to me, looks
imprecise; doesn't capture the fact that newpath could be null. On the
other hand, trying to make it capture that makes the comment long and
fuzzy so I have kept the shorter version.

[I purposefully first submitted a report and then the patch over the
mail, hoping that that helps record-keeping.]
