xorg Digest, Vol 163, Issue 8

[akshay chavan]

Hi,
Nedit's "version" option shows the following information:
NEdit 5.6
Jul 5, 2010

     Built on: Win32, x86-64, GNU C
     Built at: Jun 30 2015, 16:55:01
   With Motif: (Untested) 2.3.4 [@(#)Motif Version 2.3.4]
Running Motif: 2.3 [unknown]
       Server: The Cygwin/X Project 12001000
       Visual: 24-bit TrueColor (ID 0x21, Default)
       Locale: en_US
 
I did not build NEdit from source. I simply installed it through Cygwin. 

Can you offer any suggestions to deal with this problem? 

Regards,Akshay

That's probably a Motif problem not an Nedit problem, what version of 
Motif is your Cygwin using?
