Text box can push text beyond right margin

[gpk]

Binary package hint: abiword

If you have a document full of text, and you insert a text box.
Put the left edge of the box to the left of the text, then stretch the right edge across.
You will find (as you might expect) that it pushes text in front of it.
The trouble is, it keeps pushing the text off beyond the right margin.

See attached image (before and after text box stretch). You can actually
even go a bit farther than I did here.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I am unsure, but believe this to be a duplicate of bug 287816. If not, please provide exact steps to reproduce this issue. I am not familar with inserting a "Text box" in Abiword.

On Abiword 2.8.6, go to the "Insert" menu, and go down to the fifth
item, "Text Box".
That gives you a biggish, open plus sign. Click somewhere in the
middle of a block of text.
That gives you a black square with little green handles.
Grab one of the handles and pull.
