Summary: "Scroll up" screws display
Initial Comment:
When scrolling up one line the display shows the newly appearing line plus the
second line repeating for the rest of the window. E.g. a "page up" results in a
proper display of the file content again, while "page down" only shows the new
content on the bottom properly, while the upper half is still the one line
repeated.

Message:
It will be using the Motif libraries on the system where NEdit runs. The
version on the system where your display is running does not matter. It
doesn't matter from which of my systems I run NEdit. At both the console
and remotely I get:
With Motif: 2.1.30 [@(#)Motif Version 2.1.30]
Running Motif: 2.1 [@(#)Motif Version 2.1.30]
They report different X servers. At the console:
Server: The XFree86 Project, Inc 40201000
Visual: 24-bit TrueColor (ID 0x23, Default)
remotely (tunnelled via ssh on the one above):
Server: Colin Harrison 60900031
Visual: 24-bit TrueColor (ID 0x22, Default)

Message:
We use share libraries.
The problem is not the local Nedit installation: that is compiled against
the proper Motif version.
But if I login via ssh on an remote host running Scientific Linux 3 (we
have still many of those around here), then those PCs have Nedit with the
old motif version. But since the display is to my local PC, the motif
versions appear to be mixed up.
But now I see that the SL3 installation is wrong: there
openmotif-2.2.3-5.RHEL3.2 is installed but Nedit claims to use Motif
2.1.30.
Local at the SL3 PC it works fine, but remotely the problem happens.
Running a locally installed Nedit compiled again Motif 2.1.30 while
openmotif-2.3.0 is installed produces the same problem.
Can the problem come from the mismatch in the local and remote motif
library?
Thanks again for your help!

Message:
In makefiles/Makefile.linux, if you follow the instructions for
-DHAVE__XMVERSIONSTRING it would report your Motif runtime version instead
of "[unknown]". If it's a static build they will always be the same. If
it's a dynamic build they might not be.
e.g.:
ldd `which nedit`
libXm.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 (0x4002d000)
--snip--
nedit -version
With Motif: 2.1.30 [@(#)Motif Version 2.1.30]
--snip--
Running a 2.1.30 dynamic build on a system with 2.2.3 amd 2.3.0 runtime
might not be a good idea.

Message:
The workaround does not work.
I've typed: bash -c "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1;nedit"
and still have the same problem.
I found a solution: using Nedit 5.5 compiled against motif 2.3 fixes the
problem.
It appears to be an incompatability of openmotif 2.3.0 with motif 2.1.
The version that works fine for me is:

See bugs #1773770, #1710741 and #1458006.
If you set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS to 1, the problem will probably go
away.
Eg: XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 nedit
We have a workaround in CVS.

have the same effect.
