In a case if the NEdit session is lasting very long (a
week), at some instant the Copy/Paste stops working
completely, both for the keybord shortcuts
(ctrl-C/ctrl-V) and the Edit menu entries. The bug

I have not been able to paste from a windows editor (like notepad) into
nedit, I can copy
FROM Nedit and paste into other places, but not the other way around.

Regarding numlock: didn't seem to make any difference for me. I turned it
on and off back and forth and it did NOT solve the copy/paste problem. I'm
using ssh -X on FreeBSD.

Came across this error for the first time today, REALLY grateful for
finding it on your forum. CTRL-Insert/SHIFT-Insert DID **NOT** fix the
problem.

Since upgrading to Ubuntu Feisty, this problem has disappeared, and I'm
delighted.
Slowly recovering from years of neurotic habitual restarting of NEedit!

That is good new and then it isn't. I almost always have my numlock on and
never noticed that bug.
But happens just like you describe. Seemed to me that it just started
recently near the end of last
year, when kde stopped setting my numlock do matter what kdmrc said. Well
at least I know a work
around. Thanks.

The background menu doesn't work when you have your NumLock, CapsLock,
and/or ScrollLock on. That's a silly Motif limitation/bug that we don't
have a workaround for.

I have noticed that copy/paste stops working after awhile, but the part of
it that annoys me the most is rarely can I right-click and get the dialog
to copy/paste,.. anymore. Seem to have it if fresh boot and new nedit
session, but after that, NO. If I use ctrl C and V it still works, but not
with the mouse. It's to the point of thinking of switching to another
editor. But I do like nedit so would like to see how to fix it.
Gentoo AMD64
Nedit version: 5.5
Kde-3.5.5

I have had the same problem for years, except that cut and paste stops
working sometimes after a few minutes, other times after say 30 minutes. I
have tried to observe what might be the cause/trigger but have not come up
with any answers.
I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 with gnome desktop - so no klipper. Same build of
nedit as above.
I experience the problem when running nedit on other ubuntu machines over
ssh, and when running on other machines. So it's not peculiar to my one
system. In fact I'm really surprised there aren't more people complaining
of this issue.

Just for completeness: Do ctrl-insert/shift-insert work?
Did you had a chance to test the CVS version?

We've made some changes to the clipboard handling in the CVS
version, which should make the clipboard operations more
robust. You can try out a CVS snapshot to see whether it
works any better.
KDE's klipper has also been the source of many
clipboard-related problems in the past. Turning off
"Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection" in
Klipper may help.
