I have a weird problem with nano. Since a couple of days, when I start nano (with or without the -w option) nano gets out of control. What happens is: at first the normal edit screen opens, but in the top line, an extra message[ "edit_refresh(): edittop->lineno = 1" appears. After that, another message like "get_accepted_kbinput(): kbinput = 25, meta_key = 0" repeatedly appears when I scroll page up or page down. However, when I scroll with arrow down it really gets worse: my screen font gets corrupted. I see odd messages ending in "...AHA!". Then, when I exit with Ctrl+X, it yells at me like this:" parse_rcfile(): Read a comment (--- repeated many times ---) Main: set up windows delete_node(): free'd a node, YAY! (--- repeated many times ---)" It happens both in the console and within a KDE terminal screen. I also sometimes get other messages. Does anybody have a clue what to do?

The version of nano that I use is 1.3.2. I tried to downgrade to 1.3.1 or even 1.2.3 but that didn't help. Then I downgraded ncurses from 5.4-r1 first to 5.4, then to 5.3-r5, based on info in other bug reports, but I still have this problem.
Hey?! It looks like it's solved... I'm not sure why, but I suddenly thought I'd try to turn off the "debug" USE flag. It looks OK now, still testing...
please reopen then if it continues
Does this mean that nothing will happen? I mean is an application, especially such as basic one as nano, supposed to act like this with a DEBUG flag?
