    It's almost certainly that your were running a broken theme in SuSe 8.2.
    AbiWord-2.0 picks up it's highlighting colour from the current GTK 2.0
    theme. If it's broken somehow (or it's a gtk-1.x theme) no highting colour
    is fund and none is drawn.

    If you still have acccess to SUSE 8.2 try a different gtk-2 theme.

    There's a nice selection at:
