Under XWin maybe (as does emacs, and vi, and everything else), but it 
doesn't work in the Windows console (cygwin terminal). If you are 
editing a several pages long file and reduce the height of nano 
significantly (by half works "well" enough for me), the screen get bad 
also (title bar disappears, bottom menu too).
And as a general matter, I doubt than *any* application that tries to 
display text at specific location on the screen would work on the 
console. The problem is that if the application display something below 
the screen, the console scrolls. And if the console scrolls, the origin 
(coordinate 0,0) moves.
