Hi Eric, As maintainer of abiword I urge you to switch to abiword-2.8.6. Debian testing has moved on to 2.9.3 which is a considerable improvement of 2.9.2 but it still contains many bugs. On the other hand Debian-testing is for people who want to help software projects by providing feedback rather than have code that "Just Works". I think that most Ubtuntu users are in this category though.
