I have just installed AbiWord to my modified Slackware system. Everything is working fine, EXCEPT the letters/numbers on the keyboard. When I press a letter/number key nothing happens. All the other keys work: Space, Backspace, Home, End, UpArrow, DownArrow, LeftArrow, RightArrow, keys, PageUp, PageDown, Enter. Even the Ctrl and Alt combinations work (eg. I can exit AbiWork using Ctrl-Q). Mouse is fine: I can click on drop-down menus and select options. I can use the symbol tool (with the mouse) to enter letters/numbers. They show up on the screen just fine (it's just their keys that don't work). I can load documents and edit them using the keys that work (space, backspace, etc.).
And here's the weirdest part: if I click on File->Save As, the letter/number keys all work in the little box. But as soon as I close the window and return to the main AbiWord text-entry area, the keys do nothing. I have never seen this problem before. The Ted wordprocessor is working fine on this system (and I've also run a couple of other wordprocessors without this problem). Mozilla runs fine. What's with AbiWord????
