Package: abiword
Version: 2.6.8-5
Severity: normal
Attempt to create a new '.abw' file, from the command line:
% F=/tmp/whatever.abw
% ls $F # show it doesn't exist
ls: cannot access /tmp/whatever.abw: No such file or directory
% abiword $F ; echo $?
0
The exit code '0' seems inappropriate.
But why not create a new file? 'kword' and text editors like 'gedit' can.
Hope this helps...

This certainly not a bug but rather a wishlist.
Your expectations regarding abiword behaviour do not classify this behaviour
as bug IMHO.
Perhaps you can start abiword with new file:
F="/tmp/abi.abw" touch "$F" && abiword "$F"
For interactive application it is not unreasonable to create file when user
decided to save it with a chosen name (not necessarily the name provided in
command line). User can even save more than one document without closing the
editor - this invalidates your expectations regarding ruturn error code as
well.
It appears to me that you expect more nano/vi - like behaviour.
If so, some other editor might be a better choice.
Regards,
Dmitry.
