[expert] NEdit file opening acting strangely on Mandrake 9.1

[Rob Gillen]

I've been seeing some strangeness with NEdit on Mandrake 9.1 whenever I 
use File->Open from an already open edit window (which has a loaded 
file) to open another file.  When the second window opens, it looks 
normal, but any interaction with it is impossible -- menus do not work, 
and the actual editing portion of the window will not permit changes of 
any kind or even highlighting.  It acts very much like the application 
has locked up.  However, the first window still permits editing, and 
when you finally close the first window, the second window, which 
remains, then permits editing.  If you continue this -- opening another, 
then closing the working window to make the non-interactive one 
interactive -- you will eventually reach a point where when you do open 
a secondary window, that window will *allow* editing interaction on the 
opened file.  This usually occurs after the 4th or 5th file.

I've seen this problem now on at least three different machines, and 
recompiling nedit from the original source doesn't seem to clear up the 
problem, so I'm fairly certain that this has something to do with some 
type of Mandrake configuration for version 9.1.  Maybe one of the 
libraries it uses?:

       libXm.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 (0x40027000)
       libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x401a3000)
       libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x401ab000)
       libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x401ba000)
       libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x401c9000)
       libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4021b000)
       libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40224000)
       libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4023b000)
       libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x4031a000)
       libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4033c000)
       libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40470000)
       /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
If anyone else has seen this problem and knows how to fix it, I would be 
very grateful.

Thanks!
