Abiword segfaults on copy

Thank you for your bug report. Can you provide us a .doc file which causes the crash ? Could also please run a backtrace with debugging symbols of this ? (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace ) Thank you !

Sorry, I forgot something: what version of Ubuntu and of Abiword are you running ?

Here's the .doc file from this bug report.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy Gibbon. Abiword is version 2.4.6.

And here's the backtrace.

Thank you, I'll try to reproduce this and forward upstream.

Did this ever make it upstream? If/when it does please remember to link this bug.

"Ubuntu Tablet" seems to have been randomly/accidentally subscribed to this bug. Unsubscribing it.

Don Marti, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install abiword-dbg && sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and it does nothing, you may be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:
gksudo gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via:
ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently.

Thank you for your understanding.
