Buffer overflow

Alex Kent Hajnal posted a comment on ticket #692
It turns out that this was fixed in a newer version of xnedit and that fix also works for nedit. I still think the underlying issue is in libXt but this fix works and that's what matters. The attached patch fixes the issue for nedit. The suggestions I made in my initial bug report should be ignored. Credit goes to Olaf Wintermann for the fix in xnedit that this patch is based on.

Patch against 5.7 release.

I have started a patch for Nedit 5.6 that changes the screen representation of the tab (\t) and space ( ) characters to » (char 187) and (char 183) respectively. Here is a summary of the current changes (hard coded); textBuf.c; ~l43: #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH #ifdef VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH_TAB_REPLACE_FIRST_CHARACTER_ONLY #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH_TAB_REPLACEMENT_CHAR (char)187 /* '»' default: ' ' */ #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH_SPACE_REPLACEMENT_CHAR...
-
A problem with this method is that the tab character highlight gets overridden by the selection background colour while text is selected. This is an issue when selecting a section of text at a specific indentation level.

This is the file that has the issue. It's a log generated by mplayer which uses 0x0a to separate normal lines and 0x0d when it outputs the audio and video frames to terminal, so the lines don't advance.

Hi TK Soh, thanks for your analysis. I recommend implementing your version (TK#1; nedit-tab-indent-tksoh-08072020.diff); it provides the core patch functionality with minimum behavioural changes to the original.

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

@tringali, after re-reading your suggestion. i can say that i think yhe idea of: xnedit -> nedit-classic NG -> nedit makes sense to me and avoids most confusions since it makes it clear that classic is a continuation of the motif lineage while NG is a feature for feature port to create a new version

@efa, neditNG supports all platforms which Qt supports. this is at a minimum, Windows, Linux, and macOS. but in practice most unix-like OSes as well, including various BSDs. it's a highly portable library, i think even a Haiku port works, LOL. @tringali, I am kind of of two minds about your suggestion. of course I love the idea of reinvigorating the base and Nedit community by getting a 6.0 release out. but my only concern is that xnedit and NG are on somewhat divergent paths from a common ancestor....

Scott Tringali posted a comment on ticket #135
It may be worth doing both. Getting xnedit into distros right now as a 6.0 seems like a good idea to me while we work on nedit-ng at either 7.0; or rename nedit to nedit-classic and give nedit-ng the full name.

I saw current NEdit support VMS, SGI, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris Did you plan to support these platform too with NEdit 6.0? At least macOS, Linux, Solaris, net/free/openBSD ?

@efa My efforts are towards Nedit-NG which after discussions with @tringali is planned to eventually become NEdit 6.0. (Life has been busy, but we'll get there). NG has many of the features xnedit has as it is a full port to Qt. The main differentiator is that xnedit has unicode support. I am intentionally not persuing that goal until after it is ready to be called "NEdit 6.0" as the goal of NG is to be a near perfect, drop in replacement for NEdit 5.x just with a modern UI and improvements under...

I saw in that fork there is continue developing, so it is really promising

I'm happy to. However, there are an unknown number of forks out there, and they should contact me directly.

Hello kangwoosukeq! So two things. You are absolutely correct, this is definitely a buffer overflow. NEdit 5.x is now considered to be "legacy" and has no planned active development going forward. The good news is that NEdit-NG https://github.com/eteran/nedit-ng/ is going to be officially considered NEdit 6.0 at some point (hopefully soon, but it's subject to the amount of time I can dedicate to it and for the past several months, I have just been absolutely swamped). NG is is in a very workable...

The fork XNEdit supports UTF-8, UTF-16 LE/BE, UTF-32 LE/BE, and all ISO-8859 encodings (not only latin-1). I use it as my default text editor in my arch linux installation.
-
Which version supports UTF-8? And does it still support Latin-1?
-
Is there a particular reason you do not want to switch to a version of nedit actually supporting utf-8? I do not see a fix coming for this version in any future.

Hi, In Nedit 5.7 if I go down in directory structure the full path in top field 'Directory' is being changed. So, I am not able to select the file I need. For example from opened file: /home/fdipvval/CLN16FFC/sc7p5mcpp96p_cln16fcll001/tool_data/correlation/results/sc7p5mcpp96p_cln16fcll001_1.04.04/msta_debug_1_64_2/work/sc7p5mcpp96p_base_svt_c20/PffgnpV0450Tm20Ecbest_CCbest_T_minM0pct/msta_cmp_summary.lvf_AAE_1.04.04.1.report in this case the full path in field "Directory" is changed to "/home/fdipvval/C/"...

You are right. The example was not good. But if you imagine it would be a good example, the effect would still be that a trailing line is affected that should not be affected in my opinion.
-
Add a carriage return to the third line, then copy the three lines AND the fourth line. Place the cursor at the beginning of the second line and ctrl-v and it works as you expect (you don't need to shift-ctrl-v).

I worked some days with ibus deinstalled and so far it has solved my problem. Thanks a lot for your remark!

I can confirm that my Debian Bullseye has ibus: $ dpkg --list ibus .... ii ibus 1.5.23-2 amd64 Intelligent Input Bus - core whereas my Debian Buster has no ibus installed: $ dpkg --list ibus dpkg-query: no packages found matching ibus I will go to uninstall 'ibus' and check whether the problem goes away.

Bert Wesarg posted a comment on ticket #686
Dear Amiga Lemming, I had something similar recently (though Ubuntu 18.0 here), and could pin point it to the fact, that the ibus package was installed. That got in as a dependency of the Zoom client package. Could you check, if this package is installed in your system and if possible remove it again. HTH, Bert

The key '-' can have 3 functionalities : hit '-' => - sign hit 'shift+-' => 6 sign hit 'AltGraph+-' => | sign The bindkeys 'Ctrl+6' is supposed to set 'UPPERCASE'.

TK Soh posted a comment on ticket #60
All that you need to know is already captured in this ticket. In fact, I too merely took the idea from vim, albeit a simplified version. Perhaps it'd be easier if you take a look at the nedit macro version of tagstack instead, since it's far more straightforward than the C code. In fact, at one point, I actually preferred to bundle the macro, instead of adding the function into the C code. Perhaps you want to consider that also. BTW, I think we should take this discussion back to NG's discussion...
-
You got it. I'll take a look at it sometime soon. Though I will probably reach out to you when it is close to ready to confirm that it works as intended since tags aren't a feature that I am a heavy user of :-)
-
@etaran coming to think about it again, I think it'd be better to let you take up the implementation work, as I have other commitments to attend to, so NG users will get to enjoy the feature very soon.
-
@eteran that's my plan too. Although things may change when we start working on the GUI
-
@tksoh My hope is that you'll be able to use a std::stack to make it MUCH easier ;-)
-
@eteran let me look into that. Actually c++ might make things slightly easier.
-
@tksoh That's exactly what I was thinking. Since it's a port of your patch efforts, you can take the lead on this effort if you like. I'll be more than happy to help though, especially regarding how the Qt code factors in if you need it.
-
Thanks for your support! It's actually not a huge feature to add motif support. I'd be borrowing like 90% of the code from the Trolltech team's efforts ;-). But... it's certainly low priority as well since as you said, most users seem to prefer more modern looks. So, it may work its way in there, but I'm in no rush to make it happen. It may end up being more of an easter egg kinda feature :-P.

Hi Evan, Thank you for your work on Nedit-Ng. I tried it and found it to be a very capable editor. However, my work is focused on .NET so I have to stick to Visual Studio (sometimes I use Notepad++ for quick note-taking). If adding MOTIF look to Nedit-ng is a significant amount of work, may I suggest you rethink this feature as most people (except me) seem to hate the classic Nedit look (from reviews I read on the internet)? Anyways, I am amazed by the work you are willing to put into this editor...
-
Perhaps we can start by porting the current implementation into NG, and then work on the GUI along the way as further enhancement?
-
@tksok nice! it sounds like it works perfectly as one would expect. So regarding GUI/minimalist. My personal opinion is that it's ok to introduce new features with minimalist GUIs because we can always add a nice GUI for the feature after it's in. I definitely think this feature would make a nice addition to NG.
-
I don't have a strong opinion where the final repository is hosted. I have a strong opinion, how the history should look like. And both repos fail miserable here. There were mistakes on both sides in the past, but for a united future, the history should be the first step to be correct here.
-
First I created a replace for you second but last commit (I skipped your initial commit) with git replace and let it point to the REL-5.6 tag. Second, rI ran git filter-branch, this changed all the commits. Its not perfect, as in the source package were already files missing, which existed in Git. the merge was then done again, though I needed to handle many delete conflicts, because of the source → src rename. Its still not perfect, but at least something for the discussion.
-
Scott originally suggested making a GUI for it. Back then, I wanted to keep it minimalist, and let the menu do the work, since that makes the patch a lot easier to maintain not having to worry about all the corner cases. But perhaps something to think about if we are to port it into nedit-ng.
-
On your questions: when you 'pop' the stack, it will bring up the document/window, and jump to the original position and select the text where the Ctrl-D was pressed, as long as the document is still opened. when a document is modified, the tagstack data are updated to adjust to the changes. Just like the built-in bookmarks. Even if you insert something within "world", say "wo .... rld", it will still jump back and select "wo .... rld".
-
The latest update of this patch can be found on github: https://github.com/tksoh/nedit-git/commits/save-restore-edit-session
-
@tksoh part of the "plan" that Scott and I have discussed is to basically rebrand nedit-ng as "nedit 6.0" (My intention is to do one last release as nedit-ng very soon since I there has been a lot of small fixes since the last one, and then officially pivot to nedit-6.0) So at the very least, having the releases mirrored here may be the best way to maintain version continuity with users and distro packagers. From an ubuntu package point of view, they may just say "oh, there's a new version upstream...
-
I am not against pulling NG's commits back to nedit classic's repo per se, but I am wondering what compelling purposes it would serve, other than maintaining the historical continuity. After all, at this point, the NG is pretty much a complete rewrite of nedit -- C++/Qt vs C89/Motif. There are about 20 forks of nedit-ng on github, although most are not really active AFAICT, the impact should be considered too. And not to mention the number of local clones out there we are not aware of. IMHO, having...

@Akshay Chavan I am looking into using code from here to give nedit-ng an OPTIONAL classic motif look: https://github.com/qt/qtstyleplugins/blob/master/src/plugins/styles/motif/qmotifstyle.cpp It isn't perfect yet, and in particular has some bugs regarding icon menus, but it's pretty close and can serve as a good baseline.

@lebert can you explain how you made this branch git wise? Do you think it's even possible to adjust for example, my upstream git to have a similar "full history"? Are you basically forking nedit, and then just applying all my changes on top of it?
-
@tksoh I am intrigued by this patch, and think it is a good candidate for porting to nedit-ng, but have a few questions :-). you said that unlike bookmarks, it is "cross-window", I assume that means that it will activate the appropriate window if you moved away since? Bookmarks have a mechanism to seemlessly move the bookmark if the text is edited after the bookmark is made. For example if your text buffer just has "Hello world" and you bookmark position 6, it points to the start of "world". if you...

You raise some good points. I'm sure that Scott and I can figure out some satisfactory fix. One thing to note, is that the current plan is for my github repo to be the "main" repository going forward and for sourceforge to be synced up for releases. So my work will continue to have its git history going forward, it will just be located there. Also, yes, it was based on NEdit 5.6 sources. Evan

Morning, I'm still in favor of any new start but I consider how this "merger" was done not acceptable. First, also Evan should have used a fork of the original NEdit sources and not start a new Git history with its fork. The reason is pretty simple: author attribution and it made it impossible to merge anything back (think of renaming source) . I've already raised this to the author of the UTF-8 fork (XNEdit?), which did the same. The back merger now did more or less the same, it completely removed...

@tksoh Qt used to have a built-in Motif theme, but I think they dropped that with Qt5 :-P

Hey guys. I just wanted to say how excited I am to work on this with you guys. The Qt port of NEdit has been a passion project of mine for a while now and I am really looking forward to working with the larger nedit community! I'm sure that my port isn't perfect, so please do submit issues as you find them and will do my best to get it all fixed up! @tksoh has already been great in this regard! Evan
