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?
Yup. Same problem.

Can't reproduce that. Please make sure to include a C back trace, and
please turn error-checking on.
Actually, it dumps core whether or not xft is enabled. I built with
all error checking and assertions, but didn't see anything. I'm having
trouble getting a backtrace out of the core file; once I get help from
one of my gdb-guru colleagues, I'll send a detailed report. Thanks!
