Description A. Lok 2006-07-21 20:45:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

Nedit is really, really slow, and crashes on file>save / file>open. I think it
is caused by an updated openmotif version, since at install nedit worked flawless.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nedit-5.5-8.fc6
openmotif-2.3.0-0.2.1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start Nedit
2. Notice slow redrawing of the application
3. press ctrl-S or File > Save
4. Nedit closes
  
Actual results:
Nedit closes

Expected results:
Save-file dialog

Additional info:

information after the crash on the command-line:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  91 (X_QueryColors)
  Value in failed request:  0xffb3b3b3
  Serial number of failed request:  4532
  Current serial number in output stream:  4532

Nedit window with green borders
Comment 2 A. Lok 2006-08-10 19:28:36 UTC 
Updated to Fedora Core 6 test 2, since it isn't working right in this version
either.

-Slow behaviour is gone
-Still crashes on File > Save, File > Open
-Nedit windows have a green border (see attached image)

installed versions:
nedit 5.5-8.fc6
libXp 1.0.0-4.1
openmotif 2.3.0-0.2.1
Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2006-08-28 14:40:47 UTC 
Yes, it's likely caused by the updated openmotif, nedit crashes with:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  91 (X_QueryColors)
  Value in failed request:  0xffb3b3b3
  Serial number of failed request:  4596
  Current serial number in output stream:  4596

on File/Open...
Comment 4 Thomas Woerner 2006-08-28 15:27:51 UTC 
Jindrich: Is nedit setting the path for rgb.txt?
Comment 5 Jindrich Novy 2006-08-28 16:16:06 UTC 
Nope, I grepped all nedit sources, but found no reference to rgb.txt.
Comment 6 Thomas Woerner 2006-08-29 15:25:34 UTC 
This seems to be a xlib problem with the composite extension. For now you have
two solutions:

1) Set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS environment variable
   export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

2) Set visual for nedit to Default
   nedit -xrm "*VisualID: Default"

Assigning back to nedit.

Patch to fix random nedit crashes

I wrote this simple patch to fix this. It still allows an user to redefine the
default visual by the -xrm nedit option, but it disables best visual detection
and sets the Default one regardless the list of visuals which is available.
