(Get the code!)
I continue to test abiword in Quantal and it looks really good, even the version currently in Quantal proposed. So I owe a huge thank you to both Dmitry Smirnov and Jeremy Bicha.
Based on that I really hope we can somehow get a working version of abiword into Precise before 12.04.2, presumably into Precise proposed first and then into Precise updates.
I have reviewed this:

And I truly believe that we need to find a way to get this fixed in Precise as soon as possible based on this criteria:
"Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel). "
I mean as it stands abiword is buggy and generally unusable in Precise which is supported until April 2017, and I expect many more LTS users to upgrade between the release of 12.04.2 and the EOL of the Lucid desktop edition in April ;^)
I'd be glad to help in any way I can but I've been quite ill and my abilities are therefore extremely limited. That's in addition to long-standing limitations due to neurological damage over a decade ago that prevents me from being able to use IRC chat, etc.
I'm just an end user/tester that recognizes a need to fix a bug.
BTW bug 1043986 is probably a duplicate of this, but I'd think it should be fixed in Quantal if all updates are applied.
