I was reading some post on the Arch site and it seems compiling with GTK2 rather than GTK3 resolved the problem. I just build 3.0.1-7 package from source on my machine (using GTK3). The flickering issue seems to be down to just the cursor but I have some other build issues I need to look into.
FWIW the latest update is causing a conflict with libtidy on my system. Abiword want's the old libtidy-0.99-0 but the new libtidy5 (1:5.2.0-1) want's to have it's libs installed in the same place with the same name. As a temporary fix I uninstalled the old libtidy, installed the new libtidy5 and libtidy-dev. The only compile issue I ran into is ./configure looking for tidy/buffio.h wich is now tidy/tidybuffio.h. I just created buffio.h and linked it to tidybuffio.h. To get it to compile, do not know the consequences of doing so yet. As I said before I have some other build issues I have to address, but I do have the program up and running, don't want to hijack this thread with it but if anyone is interested please contact me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574278 Title: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1574278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
