Bug Description

There is a silly display bug in nano-4.3 (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57295): when opening some file (for example, 'nano README') and typing the sequence Ctrl+W Ctrl+G Ctrl+X, the Search help text stays on the screen whereas the text of the README file should be redisplayed. Attached upstream patch fixes this. Please apply to Eoan.

(It could be applied to Focal too, but nano-4.6 will be out within a week, so it's probably not worth the effort.)

Any chance that this patch can get released into Eoan? It is an upstream patch.
