Package: nedit
Version: 1:5.7-2
Severity: important

Nedit input handling fails dramatically if a ~/.motifbind file exists.

To reproduce the behavior, create this ~/.motifbind file:

    osfCut          :       Ctrl    <Key>x
    osfCopy         :       Ctrl    <Key>c
    osfPaste        :       Ctrl    <Key>v

Issue

    xmbind

and launch Nedit. Verify that the characters x, c and v cannot be
inputed anymore, instead they trigger the cut, copy and paste clipboard 
actions. Furthermore, dialogs and menu items cannot be navigated with
arrow keys. Multiple additional nasty side-effects probably exist.

Note that .motifbind is a file to remap general purpose keys in Motif
applications (e.g. Xmgrace and Xpdf), so deleting the file should not
be a solution.
