    Hi, Just downloaded 1.5 and built under Debian Bookworm. All seems ok: Correct window size, fonts, syntax highlighting and cursor. Will give it a bit more exercise this week, but thanks for the fix and also the tip about motif, which also works... Regards, Chris

    Thanks, will wait for the formal release. Great editor anyway, using the old nedit since the early ninties fwir, and still the best programmers editor. The only other point is the file load window, where the double click needs to be very fast to work. Carry over from the old nedit, no doubt...

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. Spent today doing a few installs of Linux, to try and find a good one. * Linux Mint / xfce, which looks good, but package dependency errors. No ability to log in as root and other issues. * Fedora workstation, which came up with rubbish onscreen on reboot, unuseable * Devuan Linux Chimaera 4.0.0, which works fine, a non systemd fork of Debian. Needed the following packages installed to build xnedit: make (gnu make) gcc, which pulls in binutils etc libmotif-dev, which pulls...

    Have been using Xnedit under FreeBSD 12 for a while now, a welcome update to nedit. Compiled out of the box and is rock solid. Working on an os project that will need a Linux version, so installed Debian Bookworm, a few added packages and Xnedit bulds with no warnings or errors. A few issues so far: 1) Rectangular cut and paste produces undefined but localised select sections on screen 2) Starts up with offscreen column width, to the right 3) Setting and saving defaults has issues, part works, but...
