[Bug 1694439] Re: Nano corrupts its buffer when adding newlines

[Jussi Lind]

Marked this as invalid because it was my terminal that had gone crazy.

** Description changed:

  Steps to reproduce
- 1) Open nano
+ 1) Open nano in a terminal (Ubuntu's default terminal)
  2) Write, let's say, 10 lines of text. Content doesn't matter
  3) Go to the beginning of, for example, line 5 and continue hitting enter
  
  What should happen:
  - New empty lines are added and the remaining lines are pushed down
  
  What happens instead:
  - Only a couple of new lines are added then the cursor just starts to move over the lines. Trying to add new lines now randomly sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Usually the whole buffer gets messed up and also deleting lines does unexpected things
