Nedit input handling fails dramatically if a ~/.motifbind file exists.
To reproduce the behavior, create this ~/.motifbind file:
osfCut : Ctrl <Key>x
osfCopy : Ctrl <Key>c
osfPaste : Ctrl <Key>v
Issue
xmbind
and launch Nedit. Verify that the characters x, c and v cannot be
inputed anymore, instead they trigger the cut, copy and paste clipboard
actions. Furthermore, dialogs and menu items cannot be navigated with
arrow keys. Multiple additional nasty side-effects probably exist.
Note that .motifbind is a file to remap general purpose keys in Motif
applications (e.g. Xmgrace and Xpdf), so deleting the file should not
be a solution.
