Me too, today.

Seems so, CTRL-L fixes this (until you do the next operation).

Yes, its very annoying. It also messes up when you just open a file and
jump to line xyz by using ":INSERT_LINE_NUMBER_HERE"


Otherwise I'm very happy with 1.0.1. The only thing I miss is readlink
- -f but that's put into 1.1 :-/

I wrote a workaround in the hotplug's usb.rc script so it doesn't need
the readlink's -f parameter, but it would be nice though in 1.0.2 (as it
was in busybox-cvs the longest time...).

Well, I guess, that's not subject in this thread, sorry for that.

regards,
