Bug Description

In Bionic Beaver (and in any nano between 2.8.0 and 2.9.3), trying to redo a file insertion can fail with the message: "[ Gone undo line -- please report a bug ]".

To reproduce, run 'nano --ignore' and type: Ctrl+R /etc/issue <Enter> Alt+U Alt+E

Attached upstream patch fixes the issue.

This bug was fixed in the package nano - 2.9.3-2

---------------
nano (2.9.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * The "#8M" release.
  * Add patch from git master to fix a condition where redo would fail.
    Thanks Benno for the heads-up (LP: #1753724).
