Comment 8 for bug 74518

Can we raise the priority on this? Nedit is a popular editor. In fact, it's one of the few I can stand to use. Also, can we find out who maintains Lesstif?

I think this is one of those cases where a major distro, like Ubuntu, is going to have to throw its weight around to get anything done on this. The maintainer of Klipper has this attitude that he's doing everything right and that any problems are therefore not his fault, even though Klipper seems to be implicated in every clipboard problem I've ever heard about. Then there's Lesstif whose maintainers (if there are any) have sat silently on this issue for YEARS. In order to get this resolved, we're going to have to get these two groups to communicate with each other. So far, they're unwilling, but pressure from a major distro may help soften them up a bit.

This problem is more political than it is technical. In the world of open source, what can be more stupid?
