Package: wnpp Severity: normal C (?) Programmers help wanted.
Upstream of lesstif is not active anymore and I have committed myself to help as much as I can to improve the Debian package (also by committing patches upstream). The popcon of this library is pretty high, currently around 15694 installed. However, copy/pasting has been implemented in the past in a way that worked internally, but apparently without the proper ICCCM implementation. This has caused a lot of bugs and is currently the main issue with this library. The problematic code can be easily identified in the source (lib/Xm-2.1/CutPaste.c) by searching for the text "FIX ME". Because my knowledge of C is not enough to fix this myself (I will look at it with a friend thou) I ask for help from programmers to have a look.
