Bug Description
Binary package hint: nedit
This concerns nedit 1:5.5-2ubuntu3 in Intrepid.
I open Nedit, hit Ctrl+O to open a new file, click on a filename in the horrid Motif "Open File" dialog, and press OK. Instead of opening the new file, an error window pops up over the dialog: "Please select a file to open". I try again, and again, and even as the filename is clearly highlighted and selected, the error recurs. Thus I am prevented from opening a new file in the editor.
While I'm clicking around in the file dialog, I also see these messages being dumped to the console:
--------
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\122' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\105' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\104' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\111' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\124' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\123' not supported in font. Discarded.
--------
Very bizarre, since those character numbers seem to be referring to normal ASCII letters. You'd think no font (outside of Wingdings-like oddballs) would have trouble supporting those.
This error does not always occur. On occasion, the file dialog will operate correctly, for as many times until the program exits.

Unfortunately I can not reproduce your bug. Maybe it would help if you
could attach a screenshot of the situation when the opening fails.
