This allows using <Esc> <Esc> <letter> in a macro as an alternative
for <Ctrl+letter>, but it does require that one does not type <Esc>
by accident when recording a macro as it might modify the subsequent
keystroke when the macro is replayed.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58904.
Bug existed since version 3.0, commit ecc9211a.
The workaround was for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51335
(a cursor-misplacement bug), but both an recent Xfce Terminal
and a recent Konsole appear unaffected by the issue. So, drop
the workaround for modern systems.
Checking for the actual version of libvte is too complicated, so
assume that libvte is 0.58 or newer (where the problem is fixed)
when ncurses is 6.2 or newer.
It was only ever needed when the user lied about the size
of the terminal, which should be considered a user error.
It was a workaround for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48852.
This avoids unnecessarily truncating the last help item on the
very bottom row when there is still plenty of room.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59550.
Bug has been visible since at least version 2.5.1.
Subtract one from the count only if all possible items in the menu
have been counted (item == NULL), meaning that the last item in the
Write-Out menu (the 'discard_buffer' function) has been counted too.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59549.
Bug existed since version 4.5, commit b3ace4d8.
When getopt() does not recognize an option, it returns '?', which means
that '-?' cannot be used as a valid option because any invalid option
would be treated the same way as '-?'.
Spewing out the full help text drowns the "invalid option" message at
the beginning.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59530.
Bug existed since version 5.3, commit 5bd92d4c.
This avoids poor wordings such as "Words: 1 Lines: 1 Chars: 1".
Also, display the numbers in a more logical, ascending order: lines
first, words second, characters third. This is what 'wc' uses, too.
This makes the cursor move smoothly left and right -- instead of
"stuttering" when passing over a zero-width character.
Pressing <Delete> on a normal (spacing) character also deletes
any zero-width characters after it. But pressing <Backspace>
while the cursor is placed after a zero-width character, just
deletes that zero-width character. The latter behavior allows
deleting and retyping just the combining diacritic of a character
instead of the whole character.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50773.

(Yes, the test is for 6.0, but the bug was actually fixed in 5.9,
as far as I remember -- I just wasn't sure and didn't want to bother
building different versions of ncurses myself.)
Those versions are more than five years old. If there are still
machines with those versions, people should upgrade ncurses too
if they want the newest version of nano.
Some linters report a column position (assuming a TAB to be 8 spaces)
instead of a byte index, so make sure that the cursor is not placed
out of bounds when interpreting such a column number as an index.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59419.

Bug existed since version 2.8.1, commit 2439e1e4.
This takes eight extra calls of copy_of(), but saves ten calls of
free(). But more importantly: it avoids an unneeded copying and
then freeing again of the argument after 'titlecolor' and friends.
HTML 4 knows only the four-letter abbreviations for the arrows.
Use those, so that also browsers with very limited knowledge
(like Dillo) will show the arrows correctly.
