Are you using console virtual terminals or are you running a graphical 
desktop?


I have two computers with Xfce graphical desktops:

2021-12-10 17:06:57 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a ; dpkg-query -W xfce4 nano
9.13
Linux tinkywinky 4.9.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.272-2 (2021-07-19) 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
nano	2.7.4-1
xfce4	4.12.3

2021-12-10 17:07:02 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a ; dpkg-query -W xfce4 nano
11.1
Linux laalaa 5.10.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.70-1 (2021-09-30) x86_64 
GNU/Linux
nano	5.4-2
xfce4	4.16


Please run the above command on your computer (adjust for desktop, 
ornone), and post your console session (prompt, command entered, output 
obtained).


I tested nano(1) on both of the above computers by opening two Xfce 
Terminal instances, editing 'foo' with nano(1) in one terminal, and 
editing 'bar' in another terminal.  I did not see typing in one nano(1) 
instance affect the other instance.
