I recently asked the abiword list if they would fix page up/down to move
the cursor, not just flip pages. No doubt I am not the only one who gets
really annoyed because I find a section of text with page up/down and go
to type or hit an arrow key and it jumps back to where the cursor was!

I was told it was recently fixed in CVS. I think this is a major
usability upgrade. Im not sure if its in 0.99.2  or just CVS at this
stage (I cant find it mentioned on the site) but I think it would a good
idea to include a version with this fix. 

Someone else asked about cut + paste in kde. They were working on it a
day or 2 ago so I dare say not just yet. It doesnt work 100% under some
apps in gnome either. (although they may be kde apps).

Note that I am not an abiword developer, but I belive this infomation is
correct.
