Description of problem: copy/paste of text in nedit is not possible. On the xterm from which nedit was started the message "Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard!" appears and incorrect data will be pasted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nedit.x86_64 5.5-10.fc6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start nedit file.txt 2. select same text and type <ctrl>-c (or via the menu: edit - copy) 3. the message "Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard!" will now appear in the xterm on which nedit was started from. 4. now type <ctrl>-v (or via the menu: edit - paste) and now either nothing or wrong data (from a previous app) will be pasted. Actual results: - the message "Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard!" appears - wrong or no data pasted. Expected results: - no error/warning message - the data copied will be pasted Additional info:
Check the nedit site for mailings. I think this has to do with motif or lesstif.
Before I upgraded to FC6, nedit worked without any problems in FC5. Bug 1440331 from the nedit bug tracker suggests that it is related to lesstif: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=111005&aid=1440331&group_id=11005
Yes, it is lesstif bug, reassigning. Just the reference to upstream: http://www.nedit.org/pipermail/develop/2006-May/011953.html This applies also for F7/rawhide.
Reassigning to FC6-extras.
Also applies to Fedora 7 (affecting nedit on x86_64).
Nasty 64 bit only bug (sizeof long != sizeof int problem), a fixed version is building for both rawhide and F-7, I'll push it to updates-testing when the build is completed, a comment saying that the update is available in updates-testing will be added here. Gert and/or Ian, please confirm that the test update fixes this, then I will push it to the regular updates repo.

lesstif-0.95.0-19.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
lesstif-0.95.0-19.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Perhaps unrelated, but now I experience a problem on Fedora 7, i386: $ rpm -q lesstif lesstif-0.95.0-19.fc7.i386 schelde:jansen [~] $ nedit nedit: the current locale is utf8 (en_GB.UTF-8) nedit: changed locale to non-utf8 (en_GB) Segmentation fault The segmentation fault occurs when I try to do what was the original problem on the 64-bit systems: copy tekst (ctrl-c or from menu). Ctrl-v alsso causes a segmentation fault Could it be that the 64-bit fix messed up the 32-bit versions?
Yes, my bad an update fixing this has been pushed to F-7 updates today, so a yum update should fix it.
thanks, the i386 problem is fixed now too.
