Package: nedit
Version: 1:5.5-1
Severity: normal

Hello,
=-==-=

There seems to be a problem when using tabbed windows with non-English
locale.

I am using the Slovak locale (sk_SK.ISO8859-2). The corresponding keyboard
layout also contains the so-called dead keys which are used to write some
composite national characters that are not directly defined on the keyboard
layout.

If a new tab is opened, the dead keys do not work in that tab - they are
completely ignored as if they were not typed in. The remaining national
characters that are available on the keyboard are usable without problems,
just the dead keys stop working in that tab.

Surprisingly, the dead keys work in every first tab in a nedit window.
In other words, the dead keys work in every new nedit window but they
are ignored in any subsequently opened tab.

It seems to me that the nedit somehow initializes the locale setting
whenever it opens a new window but it fails to do the same when it opens a
new tab. Therefore the first tab in a new window accepts the dead keys but
any other tabs in any window do not accept them.

This behaviour was also observed on the Sarge for the i386 architecture with
the same nedit version.

I will be glad to provide more details if needed.
