Public bug reported: Problems using nedit in Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64
Nedit works OK at first, then starts to malfunction. Copy-paste by highlighting and middle-mouse click, or by menu, starts failing to work within the same window. Meanwhile, copy-pasting from elsewhere (eg xterm window) DOES work. On another tab, everything seems normal. Today I tried to close down the offending tab by right clicking on it. The result was that the mouse pointer was "trapped" within the tabs bar. All I could do then was CNRTL-ALT F1 to do a text login and kill nedit. In fact the X session on console F7 crashed before I managed to kill nedit, but that may be related to pulseaudio because I was playing music at the time.

Not a problem with 8.04. The right-click on a tab problems is reported separately as a bug in lesstif, but appears to be an Xorg problem. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543647 Looks like Redhat have a patch for this particular bug in Fedora, but judging by reversions there, it has not been fixed upstream in Xorg. ** Affects: libx11 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mouse pointer trapped in a window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libx11 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
