#49 unexpected highlighting/selection

SweetTyler — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 20:08:12 -0000

I forgot to mention that the following settings in nedit.rc are needed to reproduce the issue:

nedit.warnFileMods: True
nedit.warnRealFileMods: True

I also found that if I set the second "resp" (lines 2561–2574 in file.c) to "1" directly, without calling DialogF(), the issue disappears in this test case.

    XUngrabPointer(XtDisplay(window->shell), timestamp);
    if (window->fileChanged)
        resp = DialogF(DF_WARN, window->shell, 2,
                "File modified externally",
                "%s has been modified by another program.  Reload?\n\n"
                "WARNING: Reloading will discard changes made in this\n"
                "editing session!", "Reload", "Cancel", window->filename);
    else
        resp = DialogF(DF_WARN, window->shell, 2,
                "File modified externally",
                "%s has been modified by another\nprogram.  Reload?",
                "Reload", "Cancel", window->filename);
    if (resp == 1)
        RevertToSaved(window, NULL);

Please let me know if you need more information or if I can help investigate further.

Thanks for the info. The issue is fixed now.

The error has nothing to do with my Makefile. As soon as I add "-DREPLACE_SCOPE" to the original Makefile, the error appears.

Here is my Makefile.linux:

# For editres, add -DEDITRES to CFLAGS and -lXmu to LIBS
# If using a Motif 2.1 compatible library (LessTif, OM) add
# a '-lXp' in front of the -lXext in LIBS. You also drop the
# -lXpm from that list.
# Ensure that the Motif/LessTif headers and libs are found!
# e.g. you may have to add something like
#   -I/usr/lesstif/include  to CFLAGS and
#   -L/usr/lesstif/lib      to LIBS
#
# To evaluate an alternative layout for the Replace/Find dialog, add
# -DREPLACE_SCOPE to the CFLAGS. See the README file for more information.
#
# For CDE drag'n'drop support add:
# CFLAGS+= -DCDE -I/usr/dt/include
# LIBS+= -L/usr/dt/lib -R/usr/dt/lib -lDtSvc

I hit an error while compiling the latest source code using an alternative Makefile. The original Makefile builds without this issue.
