Hi Jerry,

I had a similar problem with Ubuntu when I first started. As far as I
remember the problem was with the version of Nedit I downloaded using
apt-get. When I downloaded the latest version from nedit.org the
problem went away.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
This is a fairly recent problem using NEdit on Ubuntu 8.04.
1. In a terminal window if I run "nedit" or "ncl" (not specifying a file
name) and then use File/Open then NEdit crashes immediately with a
Segmentation fault. The same thing happens if I use either "Save" or
Save As".
2. 1. In a terminal window if I run "nedit" or "ncl" (not specifying a
file name) and then use File/Previous and pick a file, then NEdit works
correctly. But then it crashes if I use File/Save As. But it does not
crash if I use "Save".
3. In a terminal window if I run "nedit" or "ncl" specifying an existing
file modify it then use File/Save As then NEdit crashes immediately. But
it does not crash if I use "Save".
Any hints?
