After updating all ports on 8.1-RELEASE, nedit has a problem. The right
mouse button works ok in the toolbar but if it is pressed in the text

the X session becomes completely locked up. I have to stop X and
restart it. I have tried to deinstall nedit and rebuild it but this
didn't help. It is nedit-5.5 with Motif 2.2.3.
This is a known problem with many Motif-based applications, arising
from a bug in recent versions of Xorg. It has been corrected
upstream, and it is likely that this problem will be fixed when the
ports freeze ends shortly after the release of FreeBSD 7.4 and 8.2, if
not before. If you can't wait, you can try using the patches from:

I have tried several editors that are horrible. Axe installed from
packages dumps core. There were a lot of warnings that later versions
of libraries were installed than axe was expecting. Does the maintainer
need to know this?
Can you tell me how to install the Xorg patch to make nedit work? I
have not worked with getting source code or compiling from source. I
can do the edit on another computer.
Best regards,
Fred
