Yes, that fixes the problem fully and nicely.

But... when one does 'src/nano --ignorercfiles +77 README'
and then <Left> <Left> and then types ten times <Delete>,
one has to type ten times M-U to get the period back.

It would be nice if it could somehow prevent deleting the
magicline a second time in a row.  However, this is already
better than not putting the cursor back where it was, so if
it's too difficult to prevent multiple magicline deletions,
this will be fine.

Regards,

Benno
