How exactly are you invoking nano?  (Paste it here.)

What version of nano?  (Paste the full output of 'nano --version'.)

Did you compile nano yourself?

What terminal (emulator) are you using?

When you run 'nano --ignore --guide=11 /etc/group', does nano complain
about an unrecognized option?  If not, there should be an inverse-video
stripe in column 11.
