Specifying an operating directory should either lead to a successfull
confinement, or nano should fail to start.
(Also: save the terminal settings as soon as possible, so that an early
die() will not restore uninitialized values.)
This fixes the first part of https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47798 properly.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48103.
(The fix is wasteful -- it should only discard the multidata if actually
the name *did* change, *and* if the applicable syntax changed.)
That is: don't mix the number of lines read with a warning about the
file being unwritable -- the former is just convenience information,
the latter is a must-see.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48047.
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.
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.
Since nano-2.4.1, reading in or pasting a large piece of text would put
the cursor on the bottom line, leaving only one line of the non-read or
non-pasted text visible. This is different from the centering behavior
of Pico, and somewhat disorienting, as you can't see "where you are" any
more in relation to the file as it was.
So now center the cursor whenever the read or pasted text is larger than
the screen, but don't center it when the text fits entirely on the screen.
(The latter avoids the effect of the screen jumping unnecessarily when
inserting just a few lines while the cursor is near the bottom.)
To achieve this behavior: default to focusing, and temporarily set it to
FALSE when the focusing effect is unwanted.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47841.
Add a global variable, 'present_path', so that 'cwd_tab_completion()'
knows where the user is in the browser, so that it can try completions
against names in that directory instead of always against names in the
current working directory (where nano was invoked).
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47234.

For a little contrast with the function edit_refresh() -- it's
annoying that when you search for the latter you get to see all
the settings of the flag too.
The function edit_update() is called by edit_refresh() itself, so it is
silly that the first sets 'edit_refresh_needed' to TRUE. This setting
is needed only in a few cases -- in the others it's not needed because
the screen does not need to be refreshed (it was just about positioning
the cursor), or 'edit_refresh_needed' has already been set by a call to
goto_line_posx(). So, just set the flag in the five places that need it
and spare the other four calls.
Since commit 41ed690, cancelling a prompt after tabbing would sometimes
leave the list of file names on the screen. When testing this first,
it worked fine -- I was fooled again by 'edit_refresh_needed' already
being TRUE when nano has just started up and sits waiting for the first
key stroke. I have to hunt this down and kill it.
A normal lock file is apparently 1024 bytes in size, so the second
attempt at reading bytes from the file would try to read 8192 more
bytes into a buffer that has room for only 7168 left. According to
valgrind, the read() function doesn't like that -- and true: if for
some reason the lock file had suddenly expanded, the buffer would
overflow.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47156.
Commit 36ec76a made the wrong change: after a tab that did not list any
file names on the screen, a refresh /is/ needed, because a previous tab
might have listed things on the screen. But at the end of the prompt,
it is not necessary to refresh the edit window if things were listed,
because the window will be refreshed anyway after reading in a file.
Use 'slash' to point at a possible slash, use 'filename' just to
point at the real file name, and use 'wasdirname' just to point at
the dir's name before expanding it in order to be able to free it.
Also, remove two superfluous asserts: 'dirname' cannot be NULL
because it has just been mallocstrcpy'd, and checking 'num_matches'
is pointless as it would crash on the next statement anyway.
This is a remnant from 2001, when things were different. Now, there
is no need to refresh the edit window when tabbing produced no list.
When it did produce a list, it is cleared off later.
If for some reason opening the spell-checked or formatted file fails,
don't throw away the current contents of the buffer.
(It should also give proper feedback about the failure, but we'll leave
that for some other time.)
