Copy-Paste problem on 5.6 / 5.5

[Erez Amit]

Hi,

I have a copy-paste issue that appears once in a while, usually after the
nedit process has been running for a long time (days).

I'm using NEdit 5.6:
NEdit release of Aug 20, 2004
     Built on: Linux, 386, GNU C
     Built at: Feb 26 2009, 17:07:45
   With Motif: 2.2.3 [@(#)Motif Version 2.2.3]
Running Motif: 2.2 [unknown]
       Server: The X.Org Foundation 60900000
       Visual: 16-bit TrueColor (ID 0x23, Default)
       Locale: en_US
I get this error message on the stderr:
NEdit warning:
XmClipboardLock() failed: clipboard locked.
and:
NEdit warning:
XmClipboardInquireLength() failed: clipboard locked.
Once I close all open NEdit sessions and re-open the problem usually
disappears. BTW - I had the same issue with 5.5 .

Any suggestions on how to solve / work around this?

Thanks,
Erez
