Please always send mail to one of the fvwm lists.
In this case, fvwm_at_fvwm.org will do.
I closed your bug report based on this input from S. Anderson:
I found this bug report on the nedit site.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=468569&group_id=11005&atid=111005
it says:

We had problems with right-clicking with lock keys on.
That's been fixed in 5.3, but only to the extent that the menu
will not show if the lock keys are down. But it won't lock up.
In KDE, you might want to disable the "grab the right mouse
button" flag. It tends to screw up Motif bad.
Also, send the first few lines from Help>Version. If you're
not
running the binary from nedit.org, try that. That's built with
the real Motif and behaves better.
<<<<<<-
I just checked, this window blanking bug does happen while using kde's
window manager too.
I'm still not clear on what causes the problem, but it appears to
be an nedit problem.
