I'm having a few issues with the default version of Nano...Its extremely buggy and when I scroll between characters they mysteriously change without my editing.

How do I update my nano version? The version is 2.0.9 and it doesnt have anything more recent when I do yum update nano.

The nano webpage shows 2.2.6.

Whats the best way of upgrading this?

Thanks, D (Linux novice)

yum update in this case.

Sometimes the distribution chooses not to upgrade to the latest version of some software (mostly for security reasons) so it might be possible that you cant install from the normal repositories.

You might find an rpm on the official website, you can install from there.

$sudo apt-get update

i do not think there is a bug in software, more likely you use wrongly setup terminal client.
