This typically goes without any trouble. Now I have noticed that there was a substantial update on X11. After the update, the nedit editor fails to operate, returning the following error message: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 70 (X_PolyFillRectangle) Serial number of failed request: 289 Current serial number in output stream: 299 (The last two numbers change after rebooting). I am not doing anything different as before. The Xemacs editor opens fine, however, I had to install additional fonts as it became nearly impossible to read the scripts. I just found out that I however cannot type into the editor, same for emacs. I am quite keen on nedit for some reason or another, so I would prefer using nedit instead. I have not encountered anything like this prior to the latest update, but it is quite frustrating. After the first failure, I have reinstalled the entire X11 package successfully. I have also reinstalled nedit, but this did not sort out this problem. Obviously, something went wrong but I have no clue what happened. Running cygcheck -c returns no errors or incomplete installations. Any advice or suggestions ?
