I continue to test abiword in Quantal and it looks really good, even the version currently in Quantal proposed. So I owe a huge thank you to both Dmitry Smirnov and Jeremy Bicha.
Based on that I really hope we can somehow get a working version of abiword into Precise before 12.04.2, presumably into Precise proposed first and then into Precise updates. I have reviewed this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates And I truly believe that we need to find a way to get this fixed in Precise as soon as possible based on this criteria: "Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel). " I mean as it stands abiword is buggy and generally unusable in Precise which is supported until April 2017, and I expect many more LTS users to upgrade between the release of 12.04.2 and the EOL of the Lucid desktop edition in April ;^) I'd be glad to help in any way I can but I've been quite ill and my abilities are therefore extremely limited. That's in addition to long- standing limitations due to neurological damage over a decade ago that prevents me from being able to use IRC chat, etc. I'm just an end user/tester that recognizes a need to fix a bug. BTW bug 1043986 is probably a duplicate of this, but I'd think it should be fixed in Quantal if all updates are applied. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1019621 Title: Abiword flickers hard when scrolling (regression) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1019621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
