Pierre Rudloff, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://www.abisource.com/support/bugs/ . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

The About GNOME Office link in Abiword now points to http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOffice in the development release of Ubuntu 12.04.
