Summary: nedit allows copy&paste only in one file
Initial Comment:
After upgrading my laptop to Kubuntu 10.10 I got another curious problem:
My nedit is not running in tabs but in separate windows per file. Whichever
file I open first - I can copy/paste in this window.
In all other windows I cannot use copy and paste.
This bug is somewhat similar to #2784160 and several other kde/nedit bugs, but
it's not the same.

It is usually a good exercise to try with OM (if possible) when any issue
is encountered with Lesstif, especially the untested versions.

Message:
I can confirm that the problem is gone after I installed OpenMotif and
recompiled nedit against this lib.

Message:
I believe lesstif's implementation of copy/pasting is buggy, the source
code contains lots of "FIXME" strings in the region where copy and paste
are implemented. Although your bug might be slightly different from other
bugs, I still consider it due to the lesstif library.
Unfortunately until now nobody stepped up to help fix lesstif code
(http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/#help).
