#17 macro hangs when run multiple times

Issue was caused by the application code sending signals to the nedit process when it was not expecting it. caused it to segfault.

macro hangs when run multiple times

Wendell MacKenzie — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 20:14:08 -0000

Am using 5.6.1 on rhel6 (x86). When I run a macro that invokes a shell_command, it returns a string of text to the macro which gets presented to the user in a Dialog function. This works 1st time but when run a subsequent time, it hangs the nedit session. Have to kill it and restart. Is this a known issue?

If you move your ~/.nedit file out of the way (for example move it to ~/.neditOLD), then start nedit again it should upgrade you to the current format. But if you prefer not to do that your history list will be kept in the file ~/.neditdb - if you do switch to the current format you won't lose your history file, nedit knows to copy it to ~/.nedit/nedit.history on the changeover...

What version are you using? Usually, at least in my experience, when a user switches to a more recent version, nedit will pop up a dialog box explaining that the user's preferences, etc., will be converted to the current format...

#15 Num Keymap not work

I had the same problem using motif-2.1.32, just popped up out of nowhere. I recompiled it and the problem so far has yet to resurface in the new binary.

The list is kept in the file nedit.history file in your ~/.nedit directory.

I'd like to get a list of the 200 or so files I have open under nc -server so I can reopen them after a reboot. Is there a way to do that?
Is there a more appropiate place to ask this question?
Thanks

#15 Num Keymap not work

I'm indeed also encountering the same issue. The issue also only appearing in the editor field. E.g. the find box is not affacted.

It seems to be related to a change in openmotif 2.3.4 to solve issues with the numpad erros:
http://bugs.motifzone.net/long_list.cgi?buglist=1649
If I undo the patch #1300 for openmotif 2.3.4, recompile the software and reboot the issue is indeed resolved. But in that case the numpad arrows indeed no longer work.

As mentioned in the bug report, the openmotif demo 'periodic' does not seem to have this issue. So I expect it a combination of a change in openmotif and how the editor field is implemented in nedit.

Hi,

Since we've migrated to CentOS 7 we've lost NumLock functionallity in keymap.

Could you help us to resolve?
