Using Nedit in client/server mode (via nc), with the server running for a few days (ie. at least one file was open all the time) causes Nedit to crash on a operation like cut'n'paste or save, with all of its open windows closing, all unsaved work lost. The old libc5 version of Nedit from ftp.fnal.gov site is almost rock solid in stability in comparison to the version from PowerTools 6.1
I've compiled Nedit 5.0.2 and linked it against lesstif 0.89.4, but the cut'n'paste operations are unreliable. The old libc5 version of Nedit (statically linked against Motif) from ftp.fnal.gov doesn't work properly with XFree 3.3.5 - the page up key doesn't work.
when it crashes, does it dump core, segfault etc.? Can you give me a bit more information so that I can try to track the problem down? You may also want to email nedit_support so that the authors of nedit can try to track this down as well. Tim
I am closing this bug since there hasn't been any correspondance since November.
