Abiword + F7 = locked application

#1 Post by stevesr0 »

I was writing a small memo today and tried to check spelling after Abiword redlined a word. When I did that, the app locked up. I tried killing it through the console after identifying an abiword process number and that didn't work.

Finally, I tried closing it via the menu bar Abiword item and it did.

Have others experienced this?

Is there a fix?

Abiword can be pretty fussy at times (double spacing/kerning, hiding letters at end of line, etc.). It may depend on a number of things: the font, the screen resolution, the abiword version, the compile, the Puppy version, the Xorg version...

So can you give us a few details about your machine, your video card, your RAM total, your version of Puppy and of abiword. Also the other programs that were running at the time.

No, I'm not from CSIS (:-), but we probably need to diagnose by elimination.
