We've heard this report once already but could not reproduce the
problem. Please provide the following information.

 1) Which nedit version do you have?
 2) Did you upgrade nedit at the same time as fvwm?
 3) Can you give me an example data file along with the .nedit
    file from your home directory? Please send these files not to
    the mailing list but directly to me - and make sure to
    compress teh data file aggressively, ("bzip2 -9" if possible,
    or "gzip --best").

Regardless of these questions, you can try to force nedit to
behave with several styles:

  Style nedit MaxWindowSize 100 100

limits nedit windows to the actual screen size. Or if that
does not suit your needs you could try

  Style nedit MaxWindowSize 753p 100

753 pixels is the default width of the nedit window for me. It
may be different on your system, depending on font size and the
width of the window borders. To find out the precise value, use
"xwininfo" on the nedit window, add twice the size of the border
to the number after "Width:" and use that instead.

If using an alpha release is an option for you, you can also try
out the 2.5.0 release (actually, it's much more stable than the
term "alpha" suggests, but there are no guarantees). Using one of
the styles

  Style nedit FixedPSize

or

  Style nedit FixedUSSize

may help. Note that you won't be able to resize the window
manually if you use the second one.

Bye
