Well, I meant "the" Motif, dubbed OpenMotif. The not-really-Free one.
Commercial is not the term...

That one has been cleared up, see the lesstif bug report.
Well, the "revert" part, not the "do it right".

My testing suggested taht it helps having switched from/to nedit window before doing Ctrl+F.
But there is a random element.
Perhaps a pointer to the point where this has supposedly been fixed in nedit would be helpful.

The focus also being lost on the nedit main window. But then, it's not really gone because the Ctrl+F and friends still work.

No, the nedit window(s) has focus. The events are just not treated correctly:-(
