In the past we've seen problems with applications setting incorrect window size hints. The output from "xwininfo -all" might help. The release of nedit you are using might help. I tried a file with 1 4000 character wide record and couldn't reproduce the problem. Do you have any more ideas about the file needed to create the problem? -- Dan Espen 444 Hoes Lane Room RRC 1C-214 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Piscataway, NJ 08854 Phone: (732) 699-5570 -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
