Reproduced.  Word motion at least works.  Once you're away from an
extent boundary (I think that's probably the relevant condition),
arrow keys work too.  Once you're in a field, editing works.

I suspect this is due to the attempt to port GNU Emacs's "fields" to
XEmacs, which is causing lots of other anomolies and is planned to be
reverted soon.  I probably won't work on this until fields have been
reverted.

Have you tried this with a non-Xft build yet?

I wouldn't bet on that working at all with Xft.  Good luck....

Can't reproduce that.  Please make sure to include a C back trace, and
please turn error-checking on.
