A Rather Annoying Glitch with Nano / Vi (scrambled text)
asked 2018-02-17 21:56:47 +0200
Hei,
Am I the only one experiencing issues with nano? I had this on my JP1301 and now on my SailfishX.
After editing a file for a while the cursor starts jumping in the actual line. The data is (visually) scrambled. Quitting and restarting nano helps but the issue returns more rapidly with every cycle. Closing the CLI is of a better help but only for a while. The bigger the file or the more keystrokes the more quicker it starts failing.
LVPVS over.
--edit: happens also with vi (on XA2, SFOS 3.2.1)
me too, also SailfishX

Louis ( 2018-02-18 13:22:57 +0200 )editHei,
No, I haven't tried it. This issue is present from day zero. So I was wondering if anyone responsible (for nano - if there is one) knows about it.

LVPVS ( 2018-02-19 09:52:13 +0200 )editI'm having this issue too. I noticed when using other cli-tools that refreshing is kind of wonky sometimes in Fingerterm, so maybe it is related to the terminal emulator rather than nano. I will try @Edz's suggested fix.
