I'm having the same type of problems with nedit in Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64.
Nedit works OK at first, then starts to malfunction - as you say, at inopportune times!
Copy-paste by highlighting and middle-mouse click, or by menu, starts failing to work within the same window.
Meanwhile, copy-pasting from elsewhere (eg xterm window) DOES work. On another tab, everything seems normal.
Today I tried to close down the offending tab by right clicking on it. The result was that the mouse pointer was "trapped" within the menu bar. 
All I could do then was CNRTL-ALT F1 to do a text login and kill nedit.
But in the middle of that, X on F7 crashed and restarted.
Log message:

Aug 24 15:23:24 joseph kernel: [443474.418222] nedit[9190]: segfault at

libXm.so.2.0.1[7fee62190000+163000]

>From reports elsewhere, this kind of nedit/lesstif problem has been
around for some time. I recently jumped from Hardy to Lucid with a fresh
install. I am now finding that nedit is so unreliable I have to move to
something else, even if I have to give up features (eg vertical
selections) that I value.

in 9.04 for AMD64, nedit will not copy to clipboard
