>Description:
Clicking on the Help->Document twice in a row causes Ted to crash
>How-To-Repeat:

1) Start Ted
2) At the splash screen, click on Help->Document
3) Do this a second time
4) Crash !

>Fix:

To fix the problem:
1) Install the port /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/open-motif/
2) comment out the lines in the Makefile of /usr/ports/editors/ted
as shown below:

--- /home/bsd/Makefile.Ted.org Sun May 18 21:02:47 2003
+++ Makefile Sun May 18 22:49:04 2003

3) Now run make and make install in the original port. ted will not crash and
should work very well.

NOTE: The developer of Ted seems to indicate that their were problems with
gtk+. From http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/

"Ted 2.11 can be compiled with the GTK+ 1.2.8 toolkit or a later version. The
GTK version is not complete and should be seen as step in the right
direction. Not as a finished piece of software."
