Summary: context menu blanking

Initial Comment:
There used to be a conflict with screen blanking when
the user rightclicked in the edit pane, related to the
power saving settings of the X server. AFAIK a
workaround was added to cure this, and the context menu
is usable again. However, rightclicking on the tab bar
still blanks the screen.

I hadn't seen the blanking problem for over two years, but
strangely enough, one or two weeks ago, I ran into exactly
the same problem as Joor (using 5.5RC2). The screen blanked
only when I right-clicked on the tab bar. I didn't have time
to investigate it and the problem mysteriously disappeared a
few hours later. I hadn't changed anything in my
configuration and I was still running the same binary. I
haven't had any problems since. 
I wouldn't hold 5.5 for this. IMO, it is not an NEdit bug
and I doubt that
we can do anything about it.

I don't have a RH 9 machine but I can't reproduce it on RH 7.3 with 
XFree86 4.2.1 or FC 1 with Xorg 6.7.0.

Can people please comment on whether or not I should be holding back 
5.5 for this bug?  My inclination is to defer this to a possible 5.5.1 since 
it hasn't been touched in a month, but I've had no feedback from the 
NEdit community.

I doubt that the changes in menu.c@r1.52 had anything to do
with it, especially since you can still reproduce the
blanking. Those changes were made to avoid that X would
loose track of which window had the focus after the bg menu
popped up in a weird state.

I have no idea of what is causing the blanking or which
changes may have affected it. AFAIK no-one has intentionally
made any changes to fix this.
Perhaps you can narrow it down by doing a binary search on
CVS versions of different dates?

I'm not sure what exactly happened, but I could repeatedly
rightclick in the textpane without the screen blanking,
while rightclicking on the tab bar did blank the screen.
With a build of NEdit from CVS updated right now I again
have screen blanking in both cases when DPMS is turned on,
on Red Hat 9 (XFree 4.3.0, and OM 2.1.30 built from source,
statically compiled). Steps to reproduce are simple: 'xset +
dpms' results in screen blanking, 'xset -dpms' avoids it.
The problem basically is that even if DPMS has been turned
off, the screensaver will turn it back on when it kicks in.

I tested the same nedit binary on FC2 (X.org 6.7.0), and on
that there is no blanking, regardless what the status of
DPMS is.

I'm not sure the earlier problem the one fixed by Eddy's 
changes to menu.c@r1.52. If it is, the tac context menu 
popup action contain the same fix (or rather, does not 
include the offensive code removed by Eddy in bgmenu popup 
action).

Are you able to reproduce the bug reliably? which 
distro/flavor of Linux & X are you using? The tab context 
menu work was developed on Redhat 9.
