The minimal combination in my .nanorc is this:

set breaklonglines
set quotestr "^([   ]*([#%:<>|}\]|//))+"

If either line is commented, the behavior goes back to normal.

Please find attached gzip'd versions of my .nanorc and the example file.

I did that.

Yes! I mean, who wouldn't? :-)

Actually, I must have been mistaken. I could find no trace of a setting of 
the tabsize in ~/.Xresources. I know I switched from 8 to 4 spaces some 
time in the 1990s, but thas was probably just, at the time, an alias for
pico setting an option.


Kind regards,
