AbiWord

AbiWord misinterprets some text attributes

Bug Description

Binary package hint: abiword

Simply load the attached .rtf file.
(some of the text is in Hungarian, not important)
The items contain my publications, in the form
Authors, colon, title, journal, etc.

In the first 10 items, everything looks OK.
in items 11-16, the title is missing.
Item 17 is OK,
item 18 wrong, etc.

The attached .rtf file I prepared with Open Office,
but is shows also some deficiencies.
Maybe some control character in the file fools up AboWord.
(the names missing here are shown in Open Office in italics.
I can change them to non-italics, but after saving and reloading
they are in italics again)

I see your problem, and I've been able to confirm, but this is relating to a specific file, if you are more specific I would be able to reproduce. In addition, this is an extremely old bug, so I doubt it still exists. I'm marking as invalid.
