[Bug 1853825] [NEW] ^W ^G ^X fails to redisplay the text being edited

[Benno Schulenberg]

Public bug reported:

There is a silly display bug in nano-4.3
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57295): when opening some file (for
example, 'nano README') and typing the sequence Ctrl+W Ctrl+G Ctrl+X,
the Search help text stays on the screen whereas the text of the README
file should be redisplayed.  Attached upstream patch fixes this.  Please
apply to Eoan.

(It could be applied to Focal too, but nano-4.6 will be out within a
week, so it's probably not worth the effort.)

** Affects: nano (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
