Any feedback?
Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm having the same problem. Moreover, when I try to switch the orientation of a landscape file to portrait, Abiword crashes.

How To Make SeaMonkey as Good as Firefox...if Not Better
SeaMonkey is a lightweight browser built on the Mozilla engine that will work in any other operating system as well. Firing it up will immediately take you back to the days of Netscape Navigator, but don't let the appearance fool you. SeaMonkey is every bit as capable as a modern browser and even ha...

The basic premise of this thread, that 4.3 was based on 4.1.2, is not correct, it is based on Woof, which had major changes from 4.1.2. Woof provides all the underlying infrastructure. Then there is the level of the packages, and as I already posted, they too underwent major upgrades. I knew that 4...

I rarely question Barrys decision of what he puts in an official distro. In my eyes he has the right to go back to dotmatrix style if he wants. This is his bag, and if it wasn't for his choices we would all be using something else. (oh the horror!) I suppose this is exactly my point. I thought he'd...

As for why he did this, I'm not sure. He did the same thing with 2.16 after we made 2.15CE. He was actually working on it in parallel with us, and some people felt pressured to release 2.15 sooner so that we wouldn't be holding him up. I don't blame him for that then. It was developed with the wron...

Barry has written, again and again, that 4.3 is all about perfecting the Woof buildsystem, not about perfecting the mix of applications. Fair enough, but if it was to be so application-neutral, why not base it on 4.2? Going back to 4.1 makes a pretty strong statement that 4.2 and its associated app...

pretty AND functional would be nice. Agreed, and in my opinion the best way to achieve both at the same time is to remove clutter, as it is neither pretty nor functional. I get the interest in providing choice, and I like having a couple ways of doing things available to me without an additional do...

Barry incorporated and updated many features and updates in 4.2.1 into 4.3.1 What are the features carried over from 4.2 to 4.3 that are not just extensions or updates to what was already in 4.1? It seems to me more like the most recent version of everything in 4.1 made it into 4.3 with little refe...

Puppy 4.1.x and 4.3.x were developed by Barry in different standards than the community-built 4.2.x series. I get that. I'm asking why. Is there a reason for moving away from a community-built effort? The 4.2.x series had all the bling and (useless) eye candy that makes Puppy trash the old-hardware...
