Hi Chris,
The non-highligthing is probally due to a bug in your GTK+ theme.
We use colors from your GTK theme to set the highlight color so
AbiWord blends in with the rest of your desktop. A simple test
would be to try a diffferent theme.
The "enable smart-quotes" has not worked for a while. Maybe we should
remove it from the preferences.
