Sorry, guess I didn't stick this one in bugzilla (except sort of
incidentally -- I mentioned it in 2037 but I don't that will help you).
My original post on this bug was
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/01/September/0701.html.
I thought maybe Mike had found it and fixed it, but I guess his replies
don't definitely say that.
I haven't seen this problem since them, but I haven't downloaded any
newer versions of AbiWord and haven't done much testing since then.
Hope this helps,
Randy Kramer
