No help footer when running program #1

I'm using 0.14-1 from Ubuntu. When I run nwipe from the command line, I have no idea that I should press F10 to start the wipe.

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report. Have you reported this via the Ubuntu bug tracking system? It's not a problem I've managed to reproduce myself (the footer appears for me), so it seems to be something specific with the distribution. I think I saw a similar problem within PartedMagic, and that was fixed with no changes to nwipe.

What size screen are you using? I'm using 80x24. When I resize it much larger, I see the footer text. In fact, the cutoff seems to be 101 characters wide and the footer will show, 100 and the footer is hidden.

Filed this with Ubuntu as well. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nwipe/+bug/1265117

Ah, now that makes sense. Fixed in 95c3a2c6911ac0472439b9da44c4e9383c375b4c (now truncates text rather than removing it completely).
