After selecting text with the keyboard and copying it with Control-C, the edit window will (more than 90% of the time) not accept keyboard input. Recovery is either by mouse click on the edit window, or sometimes by pasting the text with Control-V -- this is the only keyboard input I've been able to have accepted, but doesn't always work. Sometimes only the mouse will work.

A similar loss of keyboard input often (~50% of the time) occurs when the find dialog is opened with Control-F. The only way to continue is to cancel (with the mouse) and try again, and keep trying until it works. I've not yet had to try more than three times.

I've built nedit-5.5 from the breezy source package with identical results.

I've been using the v5.5 binary from nedit.org on Redhat 7.3 for over six months and it works perfectly. The most obvious difference is that it's statically linked with openmotif 2.1.30. I've tried it on Ubuntu Hoary but it won't run -- it reports "locale is not supported" on startup then crashes when I try to open a file.
