Hello Thomas,
The bug has been fixed in nano-2.8.0 and above. In those versions, nano will by default not show more than three such warning messages, so there will be at most three seconds of delay before you get to see the first file. When you add the option "set nopauses" to your nanorc file, then nano will not pause at all between warnings and you will get to see the first file immediately. So... if you want the new behavior, you could set your package manager to allow it to install nano from "testing" instead of from "stable". Regards, Benno
