I do not quite understand what is happening here. Am I to believe that no-one using Abiword can load pictures, or is it just Bernard Lambey and me? If the latter, how does a bug affect just the two of us? It would seem that the libpng problem is not the source of this trouble. So what is?
John PS It seems the spellcheck problem is a bug and we will just have to wait for it to be fixed.
