Move the initialization of the operating directory to after the
initialization of the screen, so that the above error can be shown.
This fixes the first part of https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47798.
Between the first stat (that sets 'realexists') and the second stat
(directly after), the file might have disappeared, which would mean
that current_stat would be NULL. Prevent dereferencing this further
down.
Only when the user decides not to override an existing lockfile should
loading the corresponding file be skipped. Any failure to write the
lockfile should be ignored -- the file itself should be loaded anyway.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47945.
Error messages about lock files should not get overwritten by purely
informational messages, only by alerting ones.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47963.
The variable 'namecopy' has been passed to dirname(), so it is likely
to have been changed when it contains a slash. So, use a new variable
instead. Also, free the result of display_string().
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47956.
Having just opened a fresh buffer, 'openfile->next' will never be NULL,
because the list is circular.
Second, when compiled with --disable-nultibuffer, and deciding not to
override an existing lock, the 'return FALSE' should *not* be skipped,
because otherwise the named file will be opened after all.
This fixes an unreported bug.
Either the selected file was changed, or a file or directory was chosen
(and the Enter key virtually pressed), or a shortcut was executed. So,
just go and read the next key.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47944.
If during startup there are multiple error messages, currently only the
last one remains and can be read. To improve on that, introduce a short
pause between error messages -- even if it's not enough to read them all,
at least the user will be aware that there are multiple ones.
This also causes a few error messages to beep that currently don't beep,
such as when a file is unwritable.
When doing a PageUp or PageDown in the browser, don't move the highlight
to the first line in the same column, but keep it in the same relative
position of the screen. If we're already on the first or last page,
move the highlight to the first or last line, but keep it in the same
column. If we're already on the first or last line, only then move it
to the first or last entry.
CONST_UPDATE is only relevant when in the main menu, not when in the
browser. So, check for that condition, instead of saving, changing,
and then restoring the setting.
There is no need to iterate through all the file names, as we already
know the length of the longest. From this it's easy to calculate how
many names fit on a line.
Also rename some things to be more fitting. And make sure that something
will be selected even when many files, including the selected one, have
disappeared.
When refreshing the screen (and thus the file list), use the prev_dir
mechanism to reselect the file that was selected before the refresh,
to prevent the selection from changing when files were added or deleted.
Also, when the selected name has disappeared, move the highlight one step
back, so that it is obvious that the selection has changed. (Decrementing
'selected' will never make it negative, because selected == 0 means the
'..' entry, and every directory has a '..' entry, so it will be found.)

When during searching we look at the keyboard, then don't look at
just the first keystroke, but check if there are more, and if so,
check each one until we find a Cancel -- or until all keystrokes
have been consumed and we can continue.
This fixes the first half of https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47438.
Cancelling a search should restore waiting mode for the keyboard,
just like at the other exit points of the search routine.
And when the input routine has read in multiple keystrokes, it
should not blindly switch back to waiting mode, but only when
that mode was on before.
This fixes the second half of https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47438.
When the terminal is very narrow, there is little point in showing only
part of the version string -- and chewing off one or two digits from the
version number might even give someone a wrong idea. The user is better
served with always showing the full filename, as long as it fits in the
available screen width.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47703.
Also remove the item about one Replacement Character per invalid UTF-8
sequence, because how many bytes form a sequence? Two? Three? Four?
Better just put one Replacement Character per invalid byte, like is
done now.
When fixing a misspelling and not answering 'All' (but 'Yes' or 'No'),
the chance is quite substantial that one will type y or n at the end of
the next word. Diminish this chance by showing for a moment a message
on the statusbar.
Partitioning the file makes the undo system lose track, so that undoing
things has a good chance of losing data. Instead, just make sure that
the region is marked "backwards", with current at the top and the mark
at the bottom, and then let the replace loop take care of not going
outside of the marked region.
This also has the effect that if the marked region fits entirely on the
screen, or all the misspellings are onscreen, then the screen will not
be scrolled at all. Which makes for a smooth experience.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47836,
and fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45573.
