Comment 17 for bug 1210852

Yes, the link Christopher posted was the original valid report I created before being redirected here. When I first made it the launchpad report title field was already filled and launchpad suggested that it could be the same bug. I had a look and was unsure. The error details were similar but not exactly the same and there was no mention of abiword so I decided to create a new report. Soon after Christopher informed me that it was the same bug so I ditched that report and started hanging out here.

If you read my edited version of the bug description of the report we're on now you will find details on how to trigger it. When I was told to make these edits whilst following the SRU procedure I was somewhat unsure because making this bug report so specific to my problem seemed to narrow it. But I continued anyway as that's what I had been asked to do and cautiously explained myself in the description.

I can't say whether it is specific to xfce because I have no machines running other desktop environments to test it on. The reason I mention xfce specifically is that it bundles abiword as default word processor so the bug will affect primarily its users. I guess I could try closing xfce and running abiword from the terminal using a keyboard shortcut I came across once? But my guess is it's not specific to xfce...

I hope this all makes sense now?
