Public bug reported:
While editing a shell script (.sh file) nano colours trailing spaces
bright green.
It also considers spaces that have just been typed to be trailing
spaces.
This results in constant flashing bright green while typing, which is
both distracting and annoying.
It's at its most ridiculous when typing comments (for which trailing
whitespace is obviously completely irrelevant), but is also irritating
any time you happen to look at what you're typing. Which for me is, as
it happens, all the time.
Ideal solution: only display trailing whitespace if the user is not, you
know, still typing on that line, with the cursor right there.
Easy solution: just shut up about the damn spaces already.
