* nedit: create several tabs inside the window of nedit and click by right mouse button on any tab.
* ddd: after running ddd open "Data window" and click by right mouse button inside it's white field.

Rebuilding nedit statically with older versions of lesstif (0.93.94 and 0.93.18, which mentioned as tested for nedit) didn't remove the problem. I think, interaction between Xorg and lesstif seems to be slightly incorrect.

I checked nedit once more... Mouse cursor trapping really occures instead of pop-up menu appearing over tabs stripe. Pop-up menu on right-click over text appears correctly.

looks like an xorg issue. There's a xorg patch here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25400

I found a way to avoid mouse cursor trapping. Do shift-right-click instead of just right-click. Pop-up menu appears correctly.
