In fact, it isn't fixed. It just happened that on my two machines I use VTE-based terminals, and somehow they don't allow the window to be made smaller than four columns. But xterm allows reducing the window to just one column -- and with anything less than four columns, nano goes down.
Nano goes down deliberately when the window gets narrower than four columns, but... I don't think it should do that. No other console editor does that. Vim and joe and Emacs all stay alive even in a one- column terminal. So I think nano should do the same. Emacs stops outputting anything to the screen when the terminal is narrower than six columns (probably because by then things are entirely unreadable). Nano could do something similar, also because it is an easy fix: simply skip all display activity when COLS < 4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522598 Title: nano crashes when resizing terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/1522598/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
