There are two different files, one called nedit.rc (old name .nedit)
and the other autoload.nm (old name .neditmacro). nedit.rc is for
storing menu settings including the macros located in the Macro menu.
Only these settings are stored with "Saving Defaults". autoload.nm is
for automatically loading user defined (macro) functions (starting
with the define keyword, these can't be defined in the Macro menu). If
this should sound like gibberish for you, you should read the NEdit
documentation under the Help menu ;-)

Debian is likely to use Lesstif by default to build NEdit, cf. Help ->
Version. Your description sounds like a known problem of many Lesstif
versions (especially for 64bit systems). So, either get NEdit from
nedit.org, or rebuild it using Openmotif, or make your own clipboard
with the help of macros like for instance
