(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konsole Version: KDE 2.2.0 Severity: normal Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: gcc OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Redhat 7.1 + Motif 2.1 Hi There appears to be a problem with KDE2.2 and Nedit. When I run Nedit and open file I am unable to highlight the 'File to Edit' by right clicking the mouse. However a single mouse click does result in the chosen file being selected. This is a KDE problem since everything works fine with gnome and any other window manager I use. Also there was no problem with the earlier version of KDE shipped with Redhat 6.2. I am running Redhat linux 7.1 with Motif 2.1. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
Folks I have experienced the same problem with RedHat 7.1 KDE-2.2 (from RPMS) and NEdit from the i386 RPM that gave nedit-5.1.1-6. The problem disappeared when I went to Control Centre/Look & Feel/Style/ and de-selected the box for ``Apply fonts and colours to non-KDE apps''. I had experienced *another* problem with NEdit: I could not get the default NEdit shell script (written for csh) for word count (wc) to work even though tcsh was installed on my machine. This problem too went away when I did the above de-selection. I hope this helps. --Chandra 26 Sep 01 ------------------ Dr R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar Australian Research Centre for Medical Engineering The University of Western Australia 35 Stirling Highway Crawley WA 6009 AUSTRALIA Phone: +61-8-9380-7989 email: chandra@arcme.uwa.edu.au Fax: +61-8-9380-1168
i too can confirm this bug, and it does seem related to the aply colours to non-kde apps setting as well... seems nedit is exceptionally fragile (i remember some annoying clipboard problems it had that were discovered during the KDE 3.0 development cycle as well)
The script breakage is caused by an ill-advised resource change in KDE's Nedit.ad file. It sets nedit*shell to /bin/sh, which breaks several of the included scripts that expect it to be set to /bin/csh. This resource is only meant to be set by somebody who knows what he's doing and is aware that it may cause breakage, not by a behind-the-scenes system like krdb.
Was fixed through #54561 (thanks to the nice NEdit folks explaining what krdb was doing wrong) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54561 ***
