I wonder if this is of any help: You can simply install it from source and it works. Here is what i did under Lucid Lynx:
apt-get source abiword cd abiword-2.8.2 (... install the necessary dev-files ...) ./configure make (... wait ...) sudo make install cd /usr/lib sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libabiword-2.8.so /usr/local/bin/abiword Now click for help or press F1, and you get help. No freeze, no problem. -- Abiword 2.8.1 freezes with document lost when help is clicked or F1 is pressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519541 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
