Would you be running on a KDE system. I have seen this kind of problems
with the lesstif library in combination with klipper (the clipboard
history manager of KDE). For me it helped to turn off actions for nedit
in klipper. Described in [1] and below.

A related question: can anybody tell me if nedit uses the PRIMARY and
CLIPBOARD from X or uses the (as far as I understand it) not recommended
cut buffers [2]? Or does the answer depend on the *tif library that one
uses?

With kind regards,
Paul

Just a "might work" work-around for the time being: configure klipper to
ignore actions from nedit and allow the clipboard to be empty:
In klipper -> Configure -> Actions -> Advanced -> Disabled Actions for
Windows of Type WM_CLASS : nedit
In klipper -> Configure -> General -> UNMARK "Prevent empty clipboard"

Or change/add the following in your klipperrc
(~/.kde/share/config/klipperrc)
NoActionsForWM_CLASS=nedit,<lots of other apps...>
PreventEmptyClipboard=false
